Anyway, that story always stayed with me, but I never could remember the name of the book or the cave, but after reading your link, it must have been Sarawak. So thanks.
OMG yes that photo is amazing. One of my fav's of his. Gouffre Berger seems awesome, maybe someday I can go =)paul wrote:Sungura wrote:You're welcome =) I cant wait to go on trips like that.

This reminds me of helping another caver (not Robbie, although I have been on a caving trip with him where he was taking photos of a newly dug out section of a local cave) years ago while taking photos in the Hall of the Thirteen in the Gouffre Berger in France. Huw had me lying in a large gour pool for ages setting off a flashgun for him innumerable times. I never did see any of the photos either!
Here is Robbie's photo of the same place.

The link from Amy does talk about at least one acute attack of agoraphobia. I remember the story you're talking about. This seems to be a condenses version of what we read at one point.
