Skipton Museum is undergoing major redevelopment and modernisation and as part of this hope to have a whole section devoted to and celebrating our regional heritage of caves and cave exploration.
We have been asked to assist with this.. and hence this broader appeal to our fraternity past and present, for caving equipment through the decades....
As part of the display we hope, will be a sequence of manikins dressed as cavers through from the pre-war years up to and through the 60's 80's and present.
Amongst anything else you may have.....
Helmets, Clothing, boots, lamps, bags, Ex Army/WD surplus, ammo boxes, ropes, hemp ladders, wire ladders, SRT rope and rigs, diving kit, old caving guidebooks etc.... in fact anything caving related that you might think would be useful...
If it is precious memorabilia then it could be loaned to the museum.
If you can, or know of others who could participate and contribute in this very needed project please let me know.
Skipton as the "Gateway to the Dales" presents a unique opportunity to showcase our passion.
