During the pandemic we have been trying to collate records of all the dye traces undertaken in the Yorkshire Dales karst. Our intention is to make this resource available to all. Having made a start on the project we are now seeking input from the caving community. The information we are looking for is:
Area (from the Northern Caves guide book)
Injection point name and NGR
Detection point name and NGR
Tracer details (what and how much)
Detection method (visual, cotton wool etc.)
Date of the test
Who undertook the trace, the
Details of where it is recorded and any notes you feel relevant (e.g.
water levels)
We appreciate not all details will be available for every test and we are happy to accept test which have not been recorded in the literature so please get searching through your libraries and notes. This should hopefully provide a great resource to aid our hydrological understanding and caving exploration potential.
We have already covered the classic YGPS studies of Ingleborough and Malham
Please send your entries to g.proudlove[at]manchester.ac.uk (remembering to replace [at] with @)
The master database is not globally accessible but a copy of it will be available to all on Google Sheets. This is currently being developed.
