I was shown this by a work colleague and is caused an interesting discussion around the legal process and interpretation of law. Only slightly related to caving but could, at a pinch, be linked to the crow debate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Case_of_the_Speluncean_Explorers

Langstroth seems to be a bit dodgy. http://www.cravenherald.co.uk/news/10079815.Potholers_warned_over_Langstroth_Pot_cave/  :o

Modern LED lamps don't use a huge amount of electricity but on a long expedition I believe that a lot of batteries need to be taken. Has anybody explored the idea of a charger for use underground? A waterwheel driven gadget that could be placed in a waterfall or a fast bit of water? :thumbsup...
