Next year it will be a thrilling expedition. The connection with the AN8 is nearing, less then 1 km to go. In 2004 it was still more then 2 km.

More huge cave - great effort - will the account appear in English.

 

[wormster]

Whoo that's serious exploration there guys a big well done to all involved.

In november a third expedition took place.

Report : http://www.scavalon.be/avalonuk/psm/anial2006Nov.htm

The balance since the breaktrhough is now 5km of new galleries and they stopped on "nothing"

At the mean time the exploration team of the AN8 (Rodez club) has also found a new cave (an26) in between the AN8 and the Aniallara system. There is still approx. 120 - 150m between the AN26 and Aniallara. It's is very possible that terranaf gallery can be linked with this new cave.

So 2007 will be a very exiting year on the PSM.
