CINEMA: India or Bust: A Caving Trip by Double-Decker Bus
Session code: OE22
Film / Exploration, Main EuroSpeleo Conference
Mr James Newton
Summary
This is a DVD recording that includes photographs and commentary covering a 6 month overland trip to India by 11 cavers in a converted double-decker bus in 1970. It is a fascinating record of the countries through which we traveled (Europe, Iran, Aghanistan, Pakistan, India) at that time. In addition, the caving photographs show exploration around the region of the hills of Simla (recommended by Mr. Bob Leakey). Also included is photographic evidence of the difficulties we faced in traveling in a bus through areas ranging in temperature from -30 to 100 degrees!
