Cryptic caves

[grahams]

Here we go again:

261.626Hz after unlit fracture (6, 6, 5)

Haven't got a clue, but it's good to see this thread up and running again.

Here's a clue - it's a well known Dales cave related feature.

 

[Fulk]

Hmmm . . .well I 'Googled' 261.626Hz and it led me to 'Root Chakra Meditation 261.626Hz' on You tube . . . which sounds like a load of bollocks to me (though there was a bit of feed-back in which someone said 'watching this has cleaned my chakra'. Errr???? Takes all sorts).

Maybe it's just Middle C?

 

[grahams]

Forget the bawlocks and you're getting there.

 

[andys]

Is that the "Middle Craven Fault" then methinks?

 

[grahams]

That is the one Andys.

 

[andys]

Here we go again then....

Make cloth with strange damsel's tick pattern? ( 4, 9, 6, 4 )

I'm probably being thick, but how does "after unlit fracture" give ..RAVEN FAULT ?

'Raven' also means 'unlit' (as well as the bird) and one sort of 'fracture' is a (geological) 'fault'.

 

[JasonC]

I am indebted to you. Never too old to learn something new...

 

[Fulk]

Well, I just Googled 'raven', and it did not come up with 'unlit' (for what that's worth).

And indeed my big thick Oxford Dictionary of English does not say that raven means unlit.

I refer the honourable gentleman to : https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/raven - and, no, I didn't know that either until I looked! Americanism perhaps?

I've always associated raven with darkness but now that you ask the question, I'm not sure why. Could be from Poe's poem the Raven which I read when I was a young un. Mr Google tells me that raven symbolises death and darkness in Celtish mythology. Raven is also used to describe black hair.

 

[Fulk]

Thank you grahams . . but I guess I won't get too many chances to use this new word. Oh – how about 'This cave's very dark . . . must be because my lamp's raven'.

Cheers.

If you said that, people would think you were raven' yourself

... I'll get me coat

 

[andybrooks]

Back to the current clue, before we forget ...
I was going to type "West Kingsdale Stream Cave", then I realized that it's "West Kingsdale Master Cave".

 

[Trogger]

Note to self: Stream is an anagram of Master - never noticed that before - keep it for future reference...

 

[andys]

Spot on Andy - over to you....
