New, revised edition of Dave Gill's gripping autobiography

The veteran explorer Dave Gill first published his autobiography, Journeys Beneath Earth, in February, but as early readers noticed, it was not properly proof-read and contained many typographical errors. Linda Wilson and Graham Mullan have kindly spent many hours working on a voluntary basis to clean it up, get it set in a much more attractive format, with a new - and in my view, much better - cover. The result is a book that every serious caver will want to own, an account of an extraordinary career spanning exploration from Derbyshire - accounts of early trips in Giants Hole will make your palms sweat - to New Guinea.

It's available from Amazon as an e-book and a paperback. We all owe thanks to Graham and Linda for a superb editing job on what will now become a classic text. Volume 2 is in the pipeline.
