I recently heard of the sad departure from this World of John. who died two weeks ago on January the 3rd.
John will be known to thousands of cavers and others who frequent the Cavers meeting place, The Helwith Bridge Inn.
Ive known John for almost five decades and we have enjoyed many a conversation, I will miss him.
Im not sure if he was a founder member of one of Britains greatest caving clubs, the Yorkshire Subtterranean Society, he has certainly been at the helm with Colin Grey and Alan Speight for most of its existance, helping steer it through the years.
Including the creating and ongoing developement of the world class YSS HQ ....The "Old School" Hostel used by cavers and others from all over the world..
.... a tremendous legacy to this and future generations of Cave Explorers and appreciators of the beauty of the Three Peaks region...
So for a great life shared...
Thank You Johnie.....
