Had a look in Birkwith this weekend, with the view of having a go at Coppy Gill passage. It said in NC that it came out at a manhole that is best dug from the surface, but there wasn't any obvious manhole about so we went into the other end from Birkwith and soon decided it was a bit too unpleasant for something that was going to end in a dead end. Has anybody managed to get through lately? And does it get any better after the bedding plane full of formations and sharp gravel?
On the same topic (I've got a theme going here of nice easy caves that have shitty bits in them that nobody ever does), has anyone had a go at November Hole? Incidentally, I 'found' a bit of crawly wet passage down long churn a bit ago that connects the top of plank pool with Diccan entrance. I can't believe I've been going past it for so long and never noticed it before.
