The Last Adventure



Editor: Alan Thomas

Published in 1989, this is a collection of short, real life tales of cave exploration in the United Kingdom. This book is an interesting quick read which gives a glimpse into the exciting world of cave exploration. It emphasises the fact that our caves really are the last place on earth to discover soemthing new and have a real adventure. The book is really aimed at non-cavers, but makes an interesting read none the less.
