Everyone, within and without OUCC, who went out of their way to make things easier for us, and particularly the following, without whom...

Joan Arthur; Terence Bennett; Peter Bolt; Chris Densham; Dirge Gardiner; Dr Tom Kemp; Dave Lacey; Martin Laverty; Jim Ramsden; Pauline Rigby; Richard Ward; John Wilcock, and particularly Steve Roberts.

We would also like to take the opportunity to thank Juan-José Gonzalez Suarez, president of the Federacion Asturiana de Espeleologia, for the continued goodwill and support we have enjoyed throughout many years of visiting the Picos. Without such help our expeditions would be impossible, and we hope this fruitful liaison will continue for many years to come.
