Jack Pickup - A Fishermans Tale: A sad non-caving rescue with a humorous ending
Jack Pickup is best known for his long-standing association with the Cave Rescue Organisation which he joined in 1967, but his caving started with the Accrington Caving Club in the early 1960s. After he joined the Happy Wanderers Cave and Pothole Club in 1964, he was involved in the early explorations of Kingsdale Master Cave, Pippikin Pot, and Dalehead Pot, and he was also a keen cave diver. The CRO covers all kinds of incidents, even the saddest of which can have funny sides to them. This is a story that features caving humour in a non-caving situation.
