Dear all
The Space Miners, a 'chums' group of Dales diggers, would like to announce a recent extension of some 90km to North End Pot. Or another way of putting it - North End Pot has been connected to Llean Bean Aven, in the Eastern Front extensions of Large Pot. This is hot news having only been connected on Tuesday with the first trip down the pitches just yesterday.
The chums have always been open with their digs and discoveries, F'ing Hopeless, Five Ways, Mayday are examples. In any case news always leaks out, better to just let everyone know. On paper, this latest effort makes for a potentially great trip with big pitches and dry access to the delights of the Eastern Front. However, the route to Llean Bean is potentially dangerous with 30m of vertical shoring, to a rift of enormous fractured blocks, and many loose rocks on the pitches. It is not for the feint hearted.
We ask folk to keep away for the time being whilst work continues and slopes stabilise. More details and the whole story will appear on here and in Descent magazine in due course. This is unlikely to ever be an easy or even safe route into this part of the Three Counties System.
Many thanks
