Abstract
Six weeks before the planned return to our remote camp in the jungle, the local terrorists kill six policemen a kilometer from our destination. Ironic since we are on the edge of civilization camped on an old logging track.
With a strong team rearing to go an alternative location was arranged at short notice with a lot of help from our local team. Hear about massive caving potential, pollution, international communication issues, cancelled wedding invites (when the terrorists turn up in our village) and how to organise a village party.
We return next year to huge river cave with open leads.
Caving - it's more fun on the Philippines - even when it's over 40 degrees every day.
