    Far country ladder, which entrance did they go in via?

    I'm guessing Long Hensler's would be the best approach for sections of ladder....I can't see amphibian being useful and the other routes would be too tortuous unless it was made in very short sections.

    Non SRT caves in the north

    Yes still open (not tried the original entrance). CPC team were down there quite recently and bumped into the farmer. No access issues. Wet! You could tie it in with some other caves nearby. NB Parking is now an option at LOW Birkwith.

    Barn owl roosting in Dowkabottom Cave

    Quite a few years ago (probably 10+) I came upon what I think was a Barn Owl (white face, pale plumage) a good way into Dowkabottom (beyond the calcite flows).

    Mobile phone coverage. Interesting but probably of no real use.

    Ian, As you have discovered electron ladders make quite good aerials. ;)

    Mobile phone coverage. Interesting but probably of no real use.

    It's when you get them out to use them the problems start...

    High water at Hull Pot

    Great pic. Soon after the arch the ground drops away quite sharply (enough to need to swim) I guess there is quite a strong current out to the left when it is this full.

    Bolts and Insurance

    There is a short pitch from where you duck under the rock arch to get to the shelf at the top of the big pitch (where the p hangers start). There are some solid bits of ironmongery which lead you to a y hang and a rebelay on quite a straightforward pitch. Nice for a change.

    Bolts and Insurance

    Bar Pot Alternative is a great ROUTE in (and out), which consists of three pitches.... To my mind... South East Aven (a great PITCH) is the alternative to Bar Pot Big Pitch . Trouble is that the pitch sometimes acquires the whole itinerary's name, even if done after a traditional Bar Pot...

    Tree guards, Cow Pot

    It is always a shame when the trees don't get appropriate aftercare. If anyone in the Yorkshire Dales has a significant number of tree tubes to dispose of, Mike Appleton at YDMT is organising a collection for recycling at the end of June. He can be contacted directly on 07957 623 970 for info...
