At Sids memorial the family put out a load of photos they had no room for for people to take. Naturally I scooped up loads as they were free and thought I'd share them here in order to identify them before sending scans to the BCRA Library for archiving.

If anyone can spot who or whats in these please shout out and let me know so I can get it recorded.

More Photos. The squeeze one intruiges me but I cant read the handwriting

The squeeze is the far side of the Orifice leading into Far Waters in Gaping Gill. The photograph was taken on 4th August 1971 by Mel Gacoyne, on a trip by Mel, Dave Checkley and myself two days after Mike Wooding had first entered the lower series of Far Waters. On that trip we surveyed the lower series and found Spiral Aven which led into Penny Arcade of the upper series. The connection between Penny Arcade and Clay Cavern, which is now the voie normale, was dug through on the following trip, on the 21st August. The photograph of Penny Arcade in the first set is from that later trip. That, too, was taken by Mel and features Dave Checkley, Mark Parker and Eric Rogerson.

They are actually my photographs - I must have lent them to Sid sometime.
