Beneath the Mendip hills lies a hidden world of caverns, and Ernest Baker went down into it. He explores the Cheddar caves, Wookey Hole, and the strenuous descent of Swildon's Hole, treating cave exploring as a sport. Thrilling, muddy, and full of underground wonder. A pioneering account of British caving. Rope down into the netherworld of Mendip and its great limestone chambers.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
