<b>Mike Thomas</b>, (Pembroke 1979-82, Committee 1981-82)<br>
|
|
Expedition 1982 (pushing the depths of
|
|
<span lang=de>Stellerweghöhle</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).
