Regarding a cave in Norway visited by Pete Livesey in 1965

[cavingbiker]

I am hoping to tap into the collective knowledge of the caving community.
I have been contacted by a Norwegian caver who is looking for information on a cave on the west coast of Norway, visited by Pete Livesey, Malvin Kaluset who discovered it (now deceased) and members of the BPC in 1965. The plan is to explore the cave and map it to modern standards.
The cave is located just outside Aalesund, on the island of Dryna near Midsund. The description I've been supplied is after a tight, sloping 15-meter crack at around 100 meters above sea level, a 30-meter drop leads down into a large chamber, estimated at 10 by 50 meters. These measurements are from the 1960s and may be imprecise. Any information would be welcome.

A friend lives in Norway and caves there. I will ask if he knows anything.

It may be worth contacting the British Caving Library, as I believe David St. Pierre's collection is held there. David was meticulous about recording data about Norwegian caves in his Norwegian Cave Index and Bibliography.

Apparently it's held at the Norwegian equivalent (although I suppose copies could be at both)

Just wondering if Trevor Faulkner might be able to shed any light on this, although I don't know if he uses this forum.

St. Pierre's "Norwegian Cave Index and Bibliography" really is the best bet, if a copy can be located.
