More successful British caving in the press.

Caving in Gunung Mulu National Park.
Should also be in the paper tomorrow.

Wow, Suberb photos! Thanx for that.  8)

Big coverage inside The Guardian's center fold 'Eyewitness' section.
...and page 9 of today's Telegraph. However, please don't believe everything you read in this account. Pretty much all nonsense  :-\
Yet it still puts British speleology in a good light!

Can't find it in the Daily Mail   

Ok off to shop for the other papers

It is interesting to compare Robbie Shone's photo with Jerry Wooldridge's original iconic shot of Deer Cave. Looks more like Peak Cavern entrance chamber now!

I think this will make for a pretty good summer all round as far as press coverage goes... 3 counties system, Culiembro, now Mulu, Artur in the Irish Times and I've heard a rumor about Pozo Azul making the papers as well..... + Wasn't there some Vietnam stuff in the Papers earlier in the year..?

All good publicity for caving. Anything I can do with my BCA media liason hat on, please let me know - if others have reports which might make the press then I'm here to help. Obviously the Mulu lot know what they are doing (probably more experience than me) but I'm here to help anyone that wants it.

cheers,
Chris

There is an article in the Metro today on Pozo Azul.

People at work keep spotting the articles and putting the papers on my desk!

Good article. Nice pics.

The link might only take you to today's 'home page'.
You'll be asked for your email address, then you can pull up the digital issue and scroll through (or search using keywords).

Totally agree Chris. You keep up the good work on your side! 

Mulu has swam across the North Atlantic and now it's on Nat Geo website:
