Bagshawe Resurgence dig Far Sump

[Blueberry]

With water levels so low it has now been posssible to dive to Far Sump dekit and explore.
I have come across old rope and at the end of Straight Street a T-junction where in the right hand passage a dig has been taking place, a Roughneck micro shovel and blue bucket are still present there.

Does anybody know who might have been digging there and if this area of passage has been surveyed?

Probably worth asking on the discussion board on the CDG website.

It's a little unclear from your description exactly where you were. Can you mark on (or off) this survey?

From what you say it sounds like it's currently possible for dry cavers to reach Far Drought Series, is that right?

Yes it is

 

[Blueberry]

I have marked the dig with an X. I hope this helps.

 

[Rob]

Excellent. So yes it is surveyed

But no i don't know who's dug it. Possibly nobody since Tony Revell. Doubt it would be divers...

 

[Blueberry]

Yes it is

I visited 2nd September Bradwell Brook water level was 0.12m. Drought sump was dry.
I previously visited 28th July water level 0.23m. Drought sump was a duck . Hope that makes sense. Simon

Speaking as a Derbs Section CDG diver, I'm not aware of anybody in the section diving the resurgence, or the wet passages beneath the Dungeon, in order to access and pursue this dig.

If Rob doesn't know anyone in the Eldon digging, that rules out all the most likely candidates. Fill your boots is my advice.
