Harry Long - The later years of the BSA and Eli Simpson
Harry Long has been at the forefront of northern caving since the late 1950s, and has many new explorations to his name including Growling Hole, Out Sleets Beck Pot, Pasture Gill Pot, and Dry Gill in Chapel-le-Dale. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of Dales caves and was co-author of all volumes of Northern Caves. He has also been a prominent member of the Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association for over four decades. This interview was recorded as part of an ongoing project about Eli Simpson. Harry joined the BSA in 1957, and spent many long hours with 'Cymmie' in his office poring over the legendary records, and gained considerable insight into the man, his methods and his passion for caves.
