I have vague recollections of someone turning up to the club caving cottage at about that time brandishing dowsing rods and saying he was going to track the course of some cave. Mind you, I suspect that it was someone known to his friends by a name which suggested that he was clean round the bend. I don't recall the outcome.
However it was considered worthy of serious investigation by some.
