Dear all
It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the death of Mr Eric Coates in a farming accident on Tuesday 12th April.
Cavers who would normally make a courtesy call on the farm at Fountains Fell for permission to cave may wish to offer sincere condolences to the family and not intrude too much at this difficult time.
I am sure I speak on behalf of all Dales cavers in offering our condolences to the family and their friends at this time.
