Critics Review

’…a welcome addition to the small number of well-written cavers’ memoirs in English… …there are flashes of understated humor or drama’. NSS News ——————– ‘…this book is a collection of those tales - some funny, some sad - but all of them incredible. A great read and a book I have gone back to again and again - highly recommended’. Scottish Diver ——————– ‘…recounts his 30-plus years exploring places a few of us will dare to go. …read Duncan’s book: there are a staggering number of caverns, caves and systems lurking beneath our beautiful countryside. …a substantive piece of work written in an accessible way. It oozes with passion for a sport that is mysterious and largely ignored by the public, business and mainstream media. Duncan Price’s book shines on some much-needed light on his underground world’. British Diver ——————– ‘…Duncan Price is clearly addicted to his chosen pursuit, there is also something addictive about his book - and it creeps up on you. The book is nicely written… There are episodes that make you laugh aloud…’ Diver ——————– ‘…a hugely entertaining account of his life. Caver-autobiographies are rare…yet are so entertaining when written by someone who has done so much. Underwater Potholer: thoroughly recommended’. Descent
