Mike Burgess ("Young Budge") was a member of the Northern Pennine Club from the earliest age allowed, and hence in the late seventies was a frequent caving (and drinking) companion to the various CUCC members who also joined NPC at that time. He came on the CUCC expedition of 1980 in which we had a go at changing area to the Tennengebirge, and is one of the only two members who actually flogged up to the area of interest, only to find the French in residence and already at some depth in Batmanschacht. We soon changed area back to Loser, where Budge took part in the exploration of Sonnenstrahlhöhle and 87.
