Big-push DIVING ? still planned to go ahead depending on weather
The divers aim to push Nidd Head and New Goyden with the aim of making the final link in the Goyden system. It will be a major accomplishment if achieved and require significant personal and technical diving capability with over 2km gap with obstacles to overcome.
They need support with 2-3 sherpas per day ? i?m looking to make a rota from the volunteers available.
Big-Push DIGGING ? POSTPONED (till late summer?)
In order for diggers to have good digs to push and reasonable chance of success we wanted to have ready the following:
? Access for diggers into Goyden 3 choked roof tube (not even started)
? Guscott dig ready so that it can be pushed further (some progress made)
? Access to Aquamole series via Frog pot and bypass dig to sump 6 ready to push (not started but quick to sort)
? Cararvan Trail surface dig to have reached bedrock (started but no sign of bedrock yet just a big swimming pool at present!)
? Plus some other leads sorted (little progress)
Due to various factors not only are we making too slow progress on these but have now been hit by a further setback. There has been a major collapse in Thrope pot that must be sorted now before it gets even worse. Oh well I am not too down about it (no pun intended) at least we have the summer now to get things ready so watch out for further announcements.
Thanks to those who have signalled interest in the Big-Push ? we will work hard to have things ready for the back end of the summer.
