In 2010 there were three main expeditions to the area; Andara 2010, by SWCC, was a continuation of the small 2009 expedition exploring some of the leads on the Pico Boro. Campana Bejes was continued by the Spanish ‘Interclub’ and S.E.B. Escar commenced some new exploration work in Invernales de Caballar (Asturias).
2010 also saw the start of collaboration between Interclub, specifically AD KAMI, and the UK based expeditions
