The entrance to Coal Hole (a rarely-visited, more sporting route into Short Drop Cave on Leck Fell) has collapsed.

We're keen to see if anyone fancies taking this on as a relatively simple cleanup project - Please contact our Conservation Officer. Obviously, if nobody comes forward and the situation deteriorates further, we can explore running this as a CNCC initiative in the future. But for now, we're keen to throw this one open to all.
