Trip report:
We went in Dr Jackson's, left the bag at the turnoff to Perryfoot, then headed straight through the connection. Sam was first and i think he did a bit of digging, but it wasn't that bad really. The climb up in Perryfoot was slippy but ok. We thn had a goood old run about Perryfoot, getting hopelessly lost saying "is this Iron Maiden? Oh no, maybe this is. In fact, i don't know where we are" quite a bit. Found many sumps though (at least three). And there was a few strnog draughts that seems to go nowhere, really need a proper look around this place sometime.
Then nipped out and went back down Dr Jackson's to the end. That's a very interesting cave! Love the big chamber that we put the ladder on, well big! And yoga hole was good fun. Not hard, you just have to work it out. Well it would be hard if your taller than 6ft6!
Cheers for the trip sam

Did you look up to the left in the chamber at the end This one of the spots that Tony & I were thinking of digging
If it were to be radio located you would in all possibility be under Coalpit Hole Rake somewhere below the depsression on the opposite side of the road of Gautries Hose Farm
Prime place to dig methinks

Ey up T,
Yer, we both climbed up the most obvious looking solutional in that chamber, on the left as you pop up. Went up about 5m and just got smaller and more awquard. Didn't see any signs of rubble or chokes or shot holes though. Even the draught was not that obvious up there. To us they just looked like solutional rifts that would probably just get smaller and smaller. Couldn't see the top though, so you never know...

Yer - great mornings caving, covered most of Perryfoot (it would seem) and most of Dr Jacksons and the connection between them. Out in time for lunch an' all.
That chamber your on about T (the 9th chamber) . Is it straight over the chasm - over the top of the rift downclimb on the left - carry on straight along a muddy crawl that goes down then back up (and I guess could sump as you aluded to) and up into a really well scolloped and sculptered chamber, mud floor/banks - with a few crawls off that close down straight away - and a slippy vertical climb up on the left as described by rob. :-\
Just want to make sure we are talking about the same place.
Couldn't see the floor level crawl in the washing up bowl/mud bowl feature (pretty sure we were in the right place).
I could imagine it was buried.
What interested me the most was the crawl off at the bottom of the inclined rift that ended in that sump. Really nice bit of passage, very clean, bit of stal about.
The sump looked very clean (not the usual mud bank silted up type)
It dipped quite sharply down to the right - I could see down about 3 feet depth - so not really a duck as such - but I reckon know how to deal with it.
its heading off into the middle of nowhere that for sure. (Does it flow in wet weather??)

Gautries Pit?
quite a few digs there in the 50's / 60's. Be a demanding through-trippette.
Gautries? What's the origin of the name - it doesn't look or sound Saxon or Danish ? Norman French? A "celtic" remnant?
