Due to a mistake I found myself in Swinsto South a few days ago. (I was in the wrong field!) It's well blocked by flood debris below the various short drops inside the entrance.
Out of interest, does anyone know where the water is next seen in the West Kingsdale System? I presume it joins the Bedstead Pot etc flow to emerge in the Swinsto Cave crawl. But there was quite a substantial stream sinking at Swinsto South and I don't remember any of the diminutive inlets in the crawl in Swinsto Cave having that much water emerging. (There's a useful diagram of all the inlets in Tony Waltham's (Ed) 1974 book "Limestones & Caves of North West England" on page 112.)
I think Swinsto South was very much a Bentham & Ingleton Caving Club project about 40 years or so ago, so I guess I'm hoping one of their former members might see this and be able to enlighten us. If so, thanks.
