A question for more senior ULSA members

Or both - as each medium has strengths and weaknesses.

Thanks for yours cobz - it's in agreement with (and complementary to) what's in the 1969 Explorations Journal. Next time I bump into DB I'll have a chat with him.

Sorry - a bit off topic....

Cobz - it wasn't you that was taking to Jim Abbott at 'Farmer' Stoyles funeral, and asking about details of a certain Irish cave dive you did?

If so, send me an e-mail via the contacts page of the CDG website, and I will supply the information you wanted.

Back on thread. I love reading (and hearing) stuff like this. Fascinating stories from the folk who were there.

Thanks fellas - I take my helmet off to you.

One further question; please can anyone tell me the date of the discovery of the Kingsdale Master Cave (by Alan & Dave Brook)?

Page 12 of the 1969 ULSA Explorations Journal mentions that it was 6 months after the trip when Geoff Boireau and Gordon Cooper dug through to the "Surprise Canal" but doesn't specify the date. I don't have access to the relevant ULSA Review as I type so if anyone can confirm the date (which is likely to have been have been April or May 1966) I'd be really grateful.

Thanks!
