Tim Vasby-Burnie (Trinity 1997-2000, President 1998-99, Dinner organiser 1999-2000). CUCC were going through a "thin" patch in the late nineties, and Tim, one of the more enthusiastic of another small intake of new members, very gamely volunteered to lead the 1998 expedition when Julian Haines retired to the back benches with "leader fatigue". The expedition, a small one, went well. Tim was mostly involved in exploration in Kaninchehöhle via the 161d entrance.

The photo was taken at the P-8 layby in the Peak District on the first novice meet, October 1998.
