Borneo – Dark Shadow

Steve and the Expedition team take to Borneo in search of cave art from our ancestors. They’re joined by experts who have discovered some of the oldest rock art in the world hidden amongst dense forests along the mountains.

During a cave exploration, the team comes across a scutigera, a large centipede. Pindi Setiawan, an Indonesian caver and rock art specialist recalls having seen scutigera rock art in past cave expeditions.

The team spends three days in the jungle searching for caves with their local guide. The terrain is so extreme that the Royal Marines learn their survival skills here. Aldo, a former Royal Marine looks back on his training in Borneo.

The jungles of Borneo are where Steve began his life of expeditions nearly 30 years ago. The team is working their way up the river until they reach its source - a cave deep in the amazing landscape. But first, they need to stop off for some rest, and their expedition medic, Aldo Kane, wastes no time making himself comfortable.
