SKP9 overbooked?!

We have already too many potential SKP9 members (>40 people), so we have to make strict rules to join the team now, otherwise the success of the project will work against us?!
The Dutch caving community "Speleo Nederland" exits 30 years and we have the honour to talk about our project, thanks guys.
As we are Dragonsblood-hunter, my wife and I go to Tenerife to enjoy the sun, nature and... pyramids!

The annual cave exploration day

At the annual "Journée de l’éxplo" in Schaerbeek, Rik can (almost) show the trailer of the new expedition documentary and Peter talks about the adventures with Nicolas Hulot on Soqotra.

SKP8 debriefing

The debriefing took place on the 23th. Processing of our results and data is subdivided into the sub units and hopefully we can provide them to you soon.

A spectacular SKP8, longer, deeper, more interesting!

January the 15th, back on European soil. The results are just spectacular:
The terminal siphon in the longest cave got passed, with another 3km explored ending on... nothing, just lack of time and already surpassing 10km!!!
The deepest cave is now -220m and exploration is also here ongoing (>4km of development). 14 new caves could be added to our database (>1,5km) and some know caves revealed more than 3km new passage ways!!!
Not to speak about the discovery of more than 150 new epigraphs, probably dating from the 1st-3rd century, a fossil bat and a magnificent hiking tour of a few days through the Haggeher Mountains... A detailed report will be added on-line.

Biggest SKP-team ever is off for a new adventure!

On December 28th our biggest SKP-team ever (19 persons) leave for Soqotra. THis edition 2 English geologist/cavers will join, together with a German linguistic expert in ancient Indian languages. After the high speed train to Frankfurt (GER), we fly with Qatar Airlines for a night in luxurious Doha, to arrive the day afterwards in Sana'a (Yemen) and after a very short night finally at our island!

SKP8 is fully booked!

The 8th edition of our project is fully booked again. Preparations at high speed are necessary!

Preparation SKP8 in sub units!

On October the 20th we had our SKP8 preparation meeting in the pub “Rotonde” in Ghent. There is a lot to be arranged again and this edition we will focus on sub unit training as the team has become too big and therefore to clumsy to function as one unit. In this way our multidisciplinary approach can be fine tuned from the start!
