The Complete Caving ManualPaperback, 31 January 2010

The irresistible appeal of caves is obvious from the enduring popularity of commercialized show-caves: dark, mysterious and beautiful, the hidden world of caves draws the visitor ever deeper. However, although it is 'one small step' from the concrete path to the rugged cave floor and from tourist to caver, it is a step that most are reluctant to take. Those few who do venture into the wild cave discover a world of spectacular halls, grottoes, rivers and waterfalls. Since the publication of the first edition in 1997, The Complete Caving Manual has become the definitive handbook for British cavers. This fully revised edition has been comprehensively updated and the text is complemented by an entirely new selection of colour photographs.
