I was in Bagshawe cavern the other day, and we followed the upper main passage past the Hippodrome, and then down the Blackpool Sands and through the muddy crawl to the stream passage. Water levels were fairly low compared to what I've seen on a previous visit. It was only because I was filming that I noticed afterwards that there seemed to be much more water coming out of the resurgence, than the amount of water visible in the stream near the Hippodrome.
Video here if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibRWhlZznpE
The stream passage is visible at 5:48, and the resurgence at 6:03. The two videos were only a couple of hours apart and there hadn't been much change in the weather for a couple of days.
So the question: is there another inlet supplying a lot of water between the visible stream in Bagshawe & the resurgence - or have I been fooled by the shape of the outlet at the resurgence making it appear to be much more water there than in the cave? Apologies if this has been asked before.
