Bob Leakey (1914-2013) was a legendary caver active from the 1930s to the 1950s, whose many solo explorations included the far end of Mossdale Caverns, Ingleborough Cave, and Disappointment Pot. In this interview, Bob talks about his early days with the BSA. He was the second man to go through Hensler's Crawl just after it was found. He also recalls some of his free diving breakthroughs in Hull Pot and Peak Cavern before returning to tell about further exploits in Gaping Gill. 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. 		UK,NW England

Bob Leakey (1914-2013) was a legendary caver active from the 1930s to the 1950s, whose many solo explorations included the far end of Mossdale and Ingleborough Cave. In this interview Bob describes how, on a trip with his future wife, Barbara Fidoe, which was meant to be her first introduction to caving, he stripped off naked in order to attempt to pass what was then the sump that barred further progress in Disappointment Pot. 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.
