Dave Brook - Reflections on an era of discovery
Dave Brook, together with his brother Alan, was a leading light of a very successful ULSA group in the late 1960s and the 1970s. ULSA's many important discoveries included Kingsdale Master Cave, Far Country in Gaping Gill, Black Shiver Pot, and the major part of Langcliffe Pot and was largely a result of undertaking major resurveying projects and an unwillingness to accept the guidebook. Dave was also a member of a number of international expeditions to places such as Borneo and China. These recordings were made in 1983 by Geoff Yeadon and Lindsay Dodd who were researching a book about Gaping Gill, which was to be a follow-up to the link up with Ingleborough Cave. The book was never written, but these valuable records remain. In this part, Dave reflects on the ULSA spate of discoveries, and what had made it possible.
