Story

<p>In April 2012 a team of made up from members of 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Regiment all of which have been involved in IED operations in Afghanistan. This team will be venturing in to the largest vertical cavern in England to raise money for Felix Fund.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-autospace: ideograph-numeric; mso-layout-grid-align: auto; punctuation-wrap: hanging; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-size: small;">To give you an idea of scale, it is as deep as the London eye is tall. The team will start with a 50m abseil in to the cave network followed by just under an hour of crawling through narrow passages carrying all their ropes and equipment, to what appears to be a dark void. This is the start of the cavern that drops some 150m in to dark abyss. Having transferred all personnel to the cavern floor, the team will have to navigate some 6 hours through an intricate network of tunnels, were one wrong turn could lead to the team being lost in mile upon mile of uncharted mines.&nbsp; finally finishing in a tourist show cave some 10 hours later.</span></span></p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
