L42-1: Moderncavemen

Cave exploration,or pot-holing, as it has come to be known, is a relatively new sport. Perhapsit is the desire for solitude or the chance of making an unexpected discoverythat lures people down to the depths of the earth. It is impossible to give asatisfactory explanation for a pot-holer's motives. For him, caves have thesame peculiar fascination which high mountains have for the climber. Theyarouse instincts which can only be dimly understood.

Exploring reallydeep caves is not a task for the Sunday afternoon rambler. Such undertakingsrequire the precise planning and foresight of military operations. It can takeas long as eight days to rig up rope ladders and to establish supply basesbefore a descent can be made into a very deep cave. Precautions of this sortare necessary, for it is impossible to foretell the exact nature of the difficultieswhich will confront the pot- holer.
