I came across a rigging guide for Aquamole pot recently, looks interesting. I believe its in West kingsdale not far from jingling pot

Can anyone give me any further details on this cave, ie exact location,is it easy going or very ,technical rigging etc,

Any comments much appreciated

Walk to Jingling and you can't miss it .. it's a lid in the middle of a huge concrete slab a few metres from Jingling (towards the tram road).

The first pitch is lots of easy rebelays in a fairly narrow and slightly drippy shaft. There then follows a section of smallish passage, leading to the short, second pitch. This is easily rigged and leads to a short section of cave (through a hole in the floor) to the final, superb pitch. A slightly more technical bit of rigging will get you to the bottom, but you might find it too wet if there's been much rain. Very little at the bottom except the sump. It's still well worth doing, though.

Agree on the final pitch being superb, just a shame theres nowt at the bottom for non-divers!
As for the final pitch rigging, the number of deviations can be varied, depending on the water levels.
