Cryptic caves

[RobinGriffiths]

Gotta be Moor Park then!

 

[aricooperdavis]

Yep, well done!

 

[RobinGriffiths]

A bit contrived, but let's have a go..

Gutted feline doesn't sound like me. (3, 5, 4)

 

[Roger W]

Well it's not more pork, but it could be somewhere near.

(Don't ask me to make up clues at the moment, please.)

 

[Roger W]

Looks as if I missed a couple of posts this morning - prob. cos they were on the next page.

I'll blame my eyeballs. I'm halfway through surgery for cataracts and they are trying to correct my notoriously short sight with the implanted lenses. So at the moment I have one very short sighted eye and one that's a bit long sighted and can't read small print...

And I have no idea what the answer to Robin's clue is.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Mini clue. It's in the Dales.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Another clue. An impressive entrance with an impressive location.

Yew Cogar Cave?

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Yew Cogar it is!

 

[LadyMud]

Here’s an anagram, for fans of steak bakes and sausage rolls:
Tyneside baker of crucial importance (6, 3, 3)

 

[LadyMud]

Here's a clue for you:
The nearest place to purchase these particular baked goods (or a cheese and onion pasty, for the vegetarians) will be Skipton, I believe.

Giggel Rav Pot

 

[LadyMud]

Correct!
(The baker is Mr Gregg, and the other bit is "pivotal")

 

[rm128]

Apologies. I forgot it was my turn. Try this:

"Zeus and Apollo follow poetry in (loco)motion" (8, 2, 3, 4)

Traverse in the gods

 

[rm128]

That's the fella. I seem to remember a stupidly long y-hang at the end of the traverse. It's quite a while since I've been, so it may be rigged more sensibly these days. And why is the "Trouser Flake" so-called?

Over to you Fulk...

 

[LadyMud]

And why is the "Trouser Flake" so-called?

That reminds me . . . was someone compiling a list of the origins of cave names?

 

[Fulk]

I've a vague idea that the 'trouser flake' when seen from the side spans the rift at its top, but is split part-way down into two long, relatively narrow sections – hence it has a sort of resemblance to the eponymous article of clothing.

Be that as it may, try this: Is there room for a bus down here? (6,6,7)

Double Decker Passage

 

[Fulk]

That's the one, Robin – over to you.
