China Caves- A Journey into the Unknown

Abstract

Having had permission for the expedition pulled just a few weeks before departure, the team of British cavers left the UK with no idea of their final destination. This talk tells the story of the journey that followed and gives a flavour for some of the incredible caves that were explored over the three week expedition. From a potentially ruinous setback the team, along with the Karst Institue of Guilin managed to survey over 20km of varied and exciting caves.
