The Last Adventure
and
The Story of Priddy
by Alan Thomas
In 1989 Mendip caver Alan Thomas published two hardback books bearing the Ina Books imprint: The Last Adventure and The Story of Priddy.
The Last Adventure concentrates on caving and includes chapters by the likes of Jack Sheppard, Oliver Wells and John Cordingley with an emphasis on cave diving exploration and discoveries beyond sumps. More specifically, chapters cover exploration in Swildon's Hole, Wookey Hole, Porth yr Ogof, Leck Fell, Peak Cavern, the Midge Hole to Hurtle Pot connection and the Lost Cave of Cheddar.
The Story of Priddy covers facets of the village near Swildon’s Hole and includes chapters on local lead mining, caving clubs and caves. As well as being nicely produced, any caver interested in cave exploration will find these fascinating documents and real collectors' pieces. In addition, local historians and history societies will find much of value in, in particular, The Story of Priddy.
Following Alan’s death, a number of brand new copies of both titles came to Wild Places Publishing and we are now pleased to be able to make these available for £5 each or £9 for the pair.
