I doubt it. Little Bear only came onto the caving scene around 1980 and only stayed around for a couple of years. I think JBs survey notes would have been before that time.

The quote is referring to the survey book he used, it had a picture of Paddington Bear on the front.

I bet members of that society would vote to disband it right now if they were  given a chance to go caving in Stoney Middleton today!

Yeah, I would - and I lay claim to being the founder member!
