vspace=10> <b>Andy Waddington</b>
(Christ's 1975-8) started caving shortly before university, and joined CUCC
at the first opportunity. Didn't miss a single term-time meet in his three
years as a student, and only missed one vacation meet - keen, or what ? CUCC
Secretary 1976/77 and Junior Treasurer 1977/78. Invited to join Austria
expedition in 1977 and formed part of "team youth" who found and started
exploring <a href="../../plateau/76.htm">Eislufth&ouml;hle</a>.
<p>Took a major part in 1978 and 1979 expeditions which finally bottomed
this cave at -506m. Tried to organise a change of area for 1980, but had
underestimated the politics involved, so returned to Loser where he and
Mike Burgess found a new way on just inside the entrance to
<a href="../../smkridge/41/41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a>, subsequently to
become CUCC's deepest ever exploration. Missed 1981 owing to
<a href="../../../jnl/1982/mexico.htm">caving in Mexico</a>
and being at the International Congress of Speleology in the USA, then came
along in 1982, 1984.
<p>Next joined expo early on in the exploration of
<a href="../../smkridge/161/top.htm">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle</a> in 1989, and
again 1990, 1993, 1995 and 1996, 1998. Currently jointly holds the record for
expedition attendance with <a href="miketa.htm">Mike Richardson</a> (12
times), though hasn't done anything like as much caving on the last few
expeditions.
<p>Recently Andy's main r&ocirc;le has been as a link with the early
expeditions and as archivist, pulling together many of the scattered and
fragmented details of past exploration into what has become the website you
see around you (see <a href="../../../c21bs.htm">site genesis</a> article).
Many of the surface photographs on the site, and just a tiny
number of the underground ones were taken by Andy, who also did most of the
image mastering work for the site.
<p>Apart from CUCC and Austria, Andy joined the
<a href="http://www.pennine.demon.co.uk/NPC/">Northern Pennine Club</a> in
1976, becoming its Recorder and Librarian shortly afterwards, and holding
that post for fourteen years. He now holds the newly created post of NPC
Webmaster. In 1981, took part in the annual <b lang="es">Proyecto
Espeleologico Purificaci&oacute;n</b> of the Association for Mexican Cave
Studies, visiting the <span lang="es">Purificaci&oacute;n</span> system for
two months. The project surveyed over 5km of new cave that year, taking its
length over that of the UK's Easegill system.
<p>Also took part in NPC trips to <b lang="es">Cueva Culiembro</b> in the
Cares gorge of the Picos de Europa in Northern Spain. This was originally a
spin-off from the Oxford University Caving Club expedition, later getting
permission independantly. The main objective was for three NPC divers to push
the main upstream sump. Not a diver himself, Andy's main r&ocirc;le here was
as sherpa and surveyor. Other trips, not all under the aegis of cucc/exCS,
have seen Andy caving in the USA, French Pyrenees, Vercors, Belgian Ardennes
and Majorca.
<p>Most recently, Andy has been coopted as the webmaster of the
<a href="http://www.sat.dundee.ac.uk/~arb/surveying/csg.html">BCRA Cave
Surveying Group</a>, and is responsible for taking issues of
<a href="http://www.chaos.org.uk/survex/cp/cpinfo.htm">Compass Points</a>
from the editor (<a href="wookey.htm">Wookey</a>) and putting them up on the
web.
