Jack Pickup - Conclusion and lessons learned from the Jes Peterson rescue
Jack Pickup is best known for his long-standing association with the Cave Rescue Organisation which he joined in 1967, but his caving started with the Accrington Caving Club in the early 1960s. After he joined the Happy Wanderers Cave and Pothole Club in 1964, he was involved in the early explorations of Kingsdale Master Cave, Pippikin Pot, and Dalehead Pot, and he was also a keen cave diver. At the time of this recording he was Chief Controller of the CRO, and he reflects on the outcome of the Jes Peterson Rescue in Gaping Gill, and the lessons learned that were later applied to other search situations. This is one of a series of recordings 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.
