Adventures Underground

[Inglesport]

New Book In Stock Now

In 1952 Underground Adventure by Arthur Gemmel and Jack Myres brought stories of exploration in the caves of the Yorkshire Dales to the reading public. Now, inspired by those classic tales, two new authors - Dave Haigh and John Cordingley continue the theme into modern times, bringing to life the dedication, ingenuity and sheer hard work needed to break new ground,often in desperately difficult circumstances, yet blend their narrative with the outrageous humour known only to cavers.

Just mentioning, so folk are aware, the authors are donating all royalties to a couple of charities (cave rescue and Macmillan Cancer Support). I've seen the finished product now and Wild Places Publishing have done a very pleasing job of it. Hope you enjoy it Ian.

Thanks for the encouraging words above!
I understand that Inglesport now has more stock. Best give 'em a ring before travelling any distance (01524 241146). But Starless River also stocks them (see website) and it's always possible to order direct from the publisher.

A copy was doing the rounds in the pub last night - looks very nice indeed.  Have placed an order...

 

[Fulk]

I was led to understand that there was going to be:

'a book launch gathering / social evening at Clapham Bunk House on 8th April.'

What happened to that?

 

[Pitlamp]

Hello Fulk - yes, you can still go to that.

 

[Fulk]

Thanks for letting me know, Pitlamp.

 

[Pitlamp]

I saw DH today and yes, the launch evening is going ahead as planned. I know you'll be especially welcome Fulk, for obvious reasons.

 

[Fulk]

Thank you

Great book, haven't been able to put it down.

[Pitlamp]

Thanks! It's all still here of course, whenever you get chance . . .

Thoroughly enjoying this outstanding book. I'm rationing it to nurse me through a series of dull night shifts!

 

[Brains]

Rushed through it as I couldnt put it down. One complaint - too short!

 

[Pitlamp]

Thanks Brains - that was the dilemma we had; we had a size limit and there were so many other things we could have put in the book. We agonised over what to leave out.

There's a very nice review just appeared; see:

Having got my grubby paws on a copy last night, a quick glance showed me this is a real classic book on Dales Caving. It is well written, illustrated with loads of great photos and diagrams, and produced to an exceptionally high quality.

The authors John Cordingley and Dave Haigh are to be congratulated on producing such a splendid book. And much credit to Chris Howes and Judith Calford at Wild Places for all their efforts in making sure the final product is worthy of its contents.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!
