Half adventure and half science, this book records the early days of caving in Somerset’s Mendip Hills. Ernest Baker describes squeezing and climbing through Eastwater Swallet, Swildon’s Hole and Wookey Hole, while H. E. Balch writes on the geology and water of the caves and on the bones, tools and human remains found in them.
A founding classic of British caving, for anyone who has looked into a swallet and wondered. Download the free EPUB.
