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. In this recording Jack describes a rescue he was involved with in 1969 at Meregill Hole. The incident started when Chris Hay fell from a ladder which resulted in minor injuries, but when his condition clearly showed signs of deterioration, the situation became serious. The rescue operation was hindered by a flood caused by melting snow, giving the rescuers no choice but to dive the patient out through the mere. It was probably the first underwater rescue ever attempted in a cave.	rescue,UK,NW England
