Paul said:When ever a tragedy of this type occurs, I remember these words written after the Neil Moss tragedy in Peak Cavern in the 50's:
"For the young man who died in Peak Cavern, there must be mourning,
but there can be a sense of pride in him too. Those who will risk
danger, whether in caves, on mountains or at sea must sometimes have to
pay the full price they have pledged. It could not be otherwise.
The adventurous cannot guard against all risks without reducing
adventure to make-believe. The death that came in the darkness at
Peak cavern is pitiful, but it is good that there are those who
for youth or adventure or a cause are willing to risk such an
end. It is in this that the honour of being Human exists."
"Manchester Guardian" 25th March 1959
Probably written by Patrick Monkhouse
