Expedition 1982 (pushing the depths of
<span lang="de">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</span>), 1983 (142 and
<span lang="de">Steinschlagschacht</span> 1623/136), 1984
(<span lang="de">Steinschlagschacht</span>), 1989 (cave diving
in <span lang="de">Altausseer See</span> and at various resurgences).<br />

As well as being in CUCC and exCS, Mike joined the
<a href="http://www.pennine.demon.co.uk/NPC/">Northern Pennine Club</a>.
He soon took up cave diving (and therefore joined the
<a href="http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/~arb/speleo/cdg.html">Cave Diving
Group</a>), being at one time the only diver in the Dales
with a 100% record for passing virgin sumps at the first dive (OK, so it
was only 2 feet long :-). Diving took him on the NPC expeditions to Northern
Spain (especially <span lang="es">Cueva Culiembro</span> in the Cares
Gorge).<br />

Mike still cave dives, and even caves, occasionally (in between flying a
light aircraft), despite being confined to a wheelchair after a ski-touring
accident.<br />

The photo was taken at the Lost Johns' carpark on Leck Fell - note the
tatty canoeing helmet, as used by many cave divers (the holes let the
air out when diving).</p>
