You can include the casualty in that! Amazing resilience over such a long period, especially considering his injuries.

I suspect, without checking, Mossdale and the Neil Moss rescue in Peak Cavern. Both long and without a happy result, even recovery of their bodies.andrewmc said:I only went in the cave on Sat and Sun (had to run away home on Mon) but it was definitely the accidental social event of the year - saw so many faces underground, waiting to go underground, or just emerged from underground all helping do what needed to be done. One of caving's finest moments. Out of curiosity, I've heard this described as the longest rescue in Wales - have there been any longer rescues in the UK or is this the longest?

Tarquin took most, if not all of the underground pictures.

My understanding is that it is the longest (time) continuous removal / movement of a casualty.
Yes there have been longer, where for example, waiting for water to go down.
