Guyana 1976

[Joe Duxbury]

I have been asked to track down a caver who visited Kumerau Cave in Guyana in 1976. She is Helen Sergeant and she wrote an article on it that appeared in the February 1977 BCRA Bulletin 15, p. 12. Or anyone else who was on that expedition.

AI says:
Helen Sergeant (also spelled Sargeant) is a British caver and active member of the Red Rose Cave & Pothole Club. She has contributed to the caving community through explorations, botanical identification in cave environments, and written documentation.

She wrote this in 2010 (name spelt same as Guyana report):
Origin of cave names

Red Rose Cave and Pothole Club

Although an earlier article (1998) spells her Helan Sargent (which is how she appears in RRCPC index):
Bats

RRCPC Newsletter Vol.35 No.1 Article 6

RRCPC topics index does manage to spell her Sargeant as well

She's also mentioned in two articles (about France and Spain) in may 2020 newsletter and another in Spring 2024, and once (again as Sargent) in September 2018, each time in company with Jim Davis (AI actually includes "She is often associated with other long-standing members like Jim Davis.")
