Beneath the Mountains



Authors: David Rose and Richard Gregson

ISBN 0-340-38791-2

Subtitled "Exploring the deep caves of Asturias", this book is classic tale of cave exploration. It covers the Oxford University Cave Club expeditions to The Picos de Europa in Northern Spain from 1980 (the book being published in 1987). The book is humourously written and the highlight in the action is probably the pushing of the cave Pozu del Xitu to 1100m deep.
