Nick Williams Lecture. Caving. Exploration of Mulu.
7.30pm Music Hall. £4.00. Nick's lecture will be followed at 9.00pm by a screening of John Muir's film 'Alone Across Australia'
"Cavers have been exploring the underground passages of the tropical rains forests of Sarawak, on the island of Borneo, since the first European expedition went there in 1978. Since then, nearly 300km of passage, including the largest underground chamber on the planet, have been explored and mapped.
In 2007, Great Hucklow based caver, Nick Williams, joined one of the expeditions to the Mulu National Park and spent over a month looking for and exploring new cave passage with 17 other cavers from all over the UK and from Mulu itself. The expedition mapped more than 25km of new passage. This slide show and film presentation gives a flavor of the caves and the forest, and of whatit's like to explore caves in a remote and unspoiled rainforest."
