Bob Leakey - (2010) Cave Rescue and Penyghent Pot
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 interview Bob remembers his involvement with various rescues, and shares further reflections on being expelled from both the BSA and the BSAC.
