Cheddar - Charterhouse on Mendip Main trunk Routes

[Elaine]

Dye tested? Only in a nice coffee brown colour - results inconclusive! But I am sure they are doing a roaring trade in brown paper at the mill!

Me and Hughie have only ever seen the water 2 metres deep at the most, and this was after a particularly wet spell. We know it was about 2 metres, as when I got him to stand in the end for a photo to see how deep it was, only the very top of his caving hat was poking out of the water!

The following night, despite more rain, the level was a few feet lower. Not very scientific to quote feet and metres in the same write up I know, but it does seem to drain quite quickly until it gets to just a couple of feet deep.

Of course Templeton may have attatched itself to the Tor hole to Cheddar, main trunk route.
Had You thought of that Anne

 

[Hughie]

Yes - we had. And the possible link to Westbury. Even considered the possibility of all three!

 

[Elaine]

Except that might be seen as showing off! So we are content to settle for just Wookey Hole.

   any chance u could post that photograph of Hughie nearly drowning in the Templeton Pool, just for your pleasure.
Share the pleasure around :alien:

Wow, we didn't know we could do that! This is Hughie standing (almost) at the bottom in Templeton. It was ccccold!

I wish you well, but every digger on Mendip believes it's only a matter of another few feet (except for the UBSS diggers at Tynings who can measure fairly accurately how far down the extension of the Charterhouse stream must be.)

I'm suprised Whitelackington didn't pick up on this revelation of a 'secret dig'!

Wot's secret about it?
