Possibly not!Thanks Shotlighter. Strange that, as he went out of his way to contact me to persuade me to drive down from the Dales and dive there. He offerd to organise sherpas. Maybe he wan't including himself in that offer!
It went to the tip. He had two tea chests, one being filled with stuff for the tip, the other full of stuff that was irreplaceable. At some point a couple of his photos got put on top of the rubbish chest & that's the one that got put on the van.In addition to all the notes and photos I believe Ross had a full set of Descent in that tea chest... It's probably stored in the back of the 80" centre steer land rover prototype...?
I'd be keen to see the line survey, if you can share?Should have said, I also have a line survey (also by Liam Keely) which covers more than the one in the newsletter. Unfortunately, it's just that, a line & a remarkably straight one, compared to how the cave seems to twist & turn.
Well I surveyed everything I got to last night, so that's a good start. 👍So really all needs doing again, if your up for it Rob!?
Do you mean SW passage of the upper series? If so, it was interesting to note that on tuesday all the (quite fresh) badger poo and footprints were only in the upper series. I assumed therefore that this SW passage (which i didn't enter) may well lead eventually to another entrance.... The SE passage of the upper series is probably on the same bedding as the small bedding chamber just by the 19/4/18 sump marked on your survey....
Sounds like a great adventure for him! Thanks, i didn't go down into the little bedding chamber. I'll add suggestive passage detail onto the survey......This small bedding chamber has 2 low continuations tending NE & SW. The NE one was too low but the SE one was entered by my son when he was 10 & quite small. He went for about 10ft before I made him come back - by pulling on the rope I'd tied to his foot! He was a veteran of Lumb Hole & used to come along to press the button, at the end of each visit.
Yes, that's the one & it would be interesting to see if there was badger poo in the little bedding chamber. It's not hard to imagine the upper level SE passage passing through the little bedding chamber & continuing SE (the bit my son entered) out to grass, via a badger sett.Do you mean SW passage of the upper series? If so, it was interesting to note that on tuesday all the (quite fresh) badger poo and footprints were only in the upper series. I assumed therefore that this SW passage (which i didn't enter) may well lead eventually to another entrance.
