Ladder and lifeline - with a lifeliner that knows how to life line, a failsafe solution.

Denis Lund - the farmer who denied all access to Spittle Croft died about 9 months ago. I'm assuming that his two sons are now in control. I honestly don't think there is anything to be gained by excavating Spittle Croft. We know about upstream, and downstream, right as far as Litton Risings is...

Inconclusive - but becoming more vertical. All points in the right direction.

Going back to Blowing pot tomorrow, 15-02-2023..... We are now convinced that this will connect with the aven in Fat Old Toad Hall.

Imagine the mischief and mayhem he and Jim Eyre are now doing as they journey through the stars......

We had Christmas Dinners in the Golden Lion, Settle. Bob Leakey last attended '88 or '89, giving one of his madcap, far out after dinner speeches!!

The NSG still exists, in the form of a handful of members based in Huddersfield. I was a member in the late '80's - early '90's when they were active in digging projects in Wharfedale.....I am still active in Littondale....

My home made wetsuite gave up the ghost in Meregill .... I exited the pot in nothing more than my boots and undergrundies....to a warm afternoon thankfully - I have to say that it was in a bit of a state when I went in.....

We did lodge an activity log back in 2015ish - but will definitely be lodging another later this month/beginning of August. In the light of recent events we will be looking in a completely new direction. I don't believe that Snurds Hole is now the way forward. One thing is for sure - Spittle...

I dived the sump in Snurds Hole back in 2016 and reached a shingle bank, I could push stuff over the top, which rolled down the other side - has anyone been there since?

We investigated Blowing Pot in 2016 also, but it was not 63m deep at that time. We came away with the feeling that it was way too high up, and probably connected to the other caves on Wilsons Pasture and therefore drained to Litton Fosse and not Litton Risings? Maybe we were wrong. Back up in...

Thank you for that Grahams - we did a fair bit of work upstream of the the bridge over the Skirfare in the summer of 2016. In particular, we found a new collapsed shakehole which draughted strongly. I also got to the boulder choke in Snurds Hole sump. I didn't like the place at all. The boulder...

Waterfall Cave itself is well worth a look at.....hard work but that is where I am going to look at when next back up in my native land! :)
