The following article from the Harrogate and Ripon Advertiser on October 3rd was kindly given to me by the gentleman at Stump Cross Caverns yesterday.
I thought it might be of interest.

What a guy! 

Well done Geoff...

Still actively looking for new caves after all these years... an inspiration..

Shows how us cave explorers stay fitter and stronger and more focused than anyone else..

The secret of longevity that so many legends and Hollywood movies portray is obviously to be found deep in our British caves....

Could Radon gas be good for some folk after all.
Often pondered on this one before!

Hmmm...

As they said to Socrates just before he died,

"Get this down you, old man!  It's quite OK - pure, natural organic Conium maculatum extract..."

Aye in general most of these manmade chemicals have been copied from nature in the first place.
