I've just read on UK Caving the sad news that film maker Sid Perou has died in Thailand (his home) at the age of 87. He did create some climbing films but it was his pioneering caving output that he will probably be best remembered for. His BBC series 'Beneath the Pennines' (1977) documenting wetsuit--clad potholers exploring in the Dales really fired my own caving journey. Farewell Sid, your work inspired lots of us to get out and explore the world.
