Isaac Bertulis-Webb has posted this to Facebook on the "UK Caving and Speleological Community," and I think it deserves a wider audience! The quoted passage gives all the info you need
Hello everyone. Some of the old school cavers (particularly around Derbyshire) may be aware of my grandad, David Webb. Post-retirement he basically devoted himself to the world of caving: involved with plentiful groups (DCA, Masson), magazine writing, helping set up the SSSI scheme and countless other endeavours in a world of his that until recently I knew quite little about. He?s probably best known in those circles for self-producing videos on caves from Titan, the Neil Moss tragedy, Ecton, Goodluck and many more.
He reckons both he and his films are getting a bit long in the tooth now, so I?m helping him upload them to YouTube so that others with an interest in the the wonderful underground realm can see them? figured this may be a good place to start! The films themselves are far from the 4k gopro exploration footage we?re used to seeing these days, but the effort he put in to making them informative and educational I think still makes them interesting today. The caves themselves haven?t changed much in the last 30 years either, so a lot of it is still relevant. Plus there's some great deep dives on local mining history as well.
It would be great to hear what you think and feel free to subscribe to the channel where we?ll be posting all the films/clips and maybe new things in the future.
If you know Dave or have any other message for him please leave a comment here or on YouTube and I?ll field the responses (he?s not entirely up to speed with Facebook etc but he does have an account and can sort-of use it). Thanks and have a great weekend!
