Bob Leakey - (2010) Sacked from the BSA and the financing of the BSA
These interviews were recorded for a project about Eli Simpson. Bob Leakey (1914-2013) was a legendary caver active from the 1930s to the 1950s, whose many solo explorations included the far end of Mossdale, Ingleborough Cave, and Disappointment Pot. Although some of Bob's recall of details are suspect (forgivably considering his age at the time of the recording), the insights that these memories give are very valuable. In this part Bob discusses his "sacking" from the BSA, how the BSA was set up and funded, and how he produced his cave sketch map surveys.
