Mike Wooding (1943-2006) began caving whilst at Bristol University, and soon built up a considerable reputation, being involved with a number of new explorations in Swildon's Hole. In 1964, together with Dave Drew and Dave Savage, he co-founded the Independent Cave Diving Group, a short-lived group which met with considerable success. He later continued his caving career in the Yorkshire Dales. In 1970 Mike successfully completed the first 300 metre cave dive in the UK. In this recording he discusses his Keld Head dive with Sid Perou, explaining how it was a deliberate attempt to overcome the psychological problems associated with long cave dives. Mike also recounts how he was forced to leave the line for some distance on his return when he discovered that it had pulled over into a tight bedding. You can also hear another account of the same dive.
