In praise of - GOUFFRE BERGER.

GOUFFRE Berger, who he?

He am not person. He am cave. And now, if we could all start speaking properly, I shall explain.

To begin at the wotsname, Joseph Berger was a Frenchman and, in 1953, he discovered what was then the deepest cave explored by man. Situated in south-east Franceshire, Gouffre Berger is 3,680ft deep. That's two-thirds of a mile in old money.
