Injured man, who was rescued after more than two days underground in cave system in Wales, is named
Martin Grass, chairman of Mendip Cave Rescue, said Mr Linnane was an experienced caver.
She told BBC Radio Bristol: "We received a text message on Saturday afternoon, when we came out of our own caving trip to say a rescue was taking place in south Wales and then a few personal messages came through to say who the casualty was and could we make our way up there so we did. "I initially went into the cave at 6am on Sunday morning for a 13-hour shift, carrying in rescue kit, then I moved on to the stretcher and then onto communications with the surface in order to give them updates as to how the casualty was doing and how the team was progressing - so quite busy really," she said.
