Alan and Dave Brook - Exploration in Sleets Gill Cave
The Brook Brothers were leading members of Leeds University caving in the 1960s and the 1970s. During that period, the club resurveyed many of the caves in the Yorkshire Dales, and made many important discoveries including Kingsdale Master Cave, Far Country in Gaping Gill, Black Shiver Pot, and Langcliffe Pot. In 1968 ULSA were responsible for the discovery of over six miles of passage. They also contributed much to our understanding of the development of the caves, with Dave hypothesising the existence of the Three Counties System in 1968. In this recording Dave describes how he found himself exploring Hydrophobia Passage and The Ramp in Sleets Gill by himself with a flaky light.
