A lovely end to the story

A man who was trapped for 54 hours in a Welsh cave and thought he “might never come out” has said he wants to give something back by becoming a volunteer for the rescue team that saved him.

Despite this, the engineer from Bristol said caving is a part of who he is and is keen to get back underground as soon as possible. What was supposed to be a six-hour excursion turned into an epic nightmare after an “instantaneous” fall. “I kept flipping between two states – there was: ‘I’m going to fight this and survive’, which became: ‘I really don’t care’,” he said.

Strapped to a stretcher, Mr Linnane was pulled out of the cave with rescuers forming a line and passing him along.
