Phil Townsend, (Pembroke 1979-82, Secretary 1980-81), expedition 1981
and 1982. Phil was one of the small hard core of the expedition capable of
getting to the bottom of
Stellerweghöhle as it headed
down to -900m. Unfortunately, a career in rather far-flung places prevented
his coming on expo again for the somewhat gentler caving of the following
years.
The photograph was taken at his wedding in the unlikely setting of
Coire Lagan, far from the road in Skye, with the lay preacher from Kintail
(and his dog !) officiating.
