Flooding

I think its mine

I have a note somewhere in my own caving diaries of standing at Hull Pot watching a 10 metre wide river emerging from its downstream lip and roaring off down the "dry" valley beyond. (From memory this was one of those scenarios when it'd snowed for a week then dumped a load of rain on top, effectively getting many days' precipitation coming through as a single flood event.) Hull Pot itself was an ominous swirling lake with various icebergs floating about.

I went for a walk up Pen-y-ghent over Christmas and saw a photo in the Crown Hotel of Hull Pot full to the brim. Can't be 100% sure but may have been from 80's?

Went for a trip from Lancaster to Cape Kennedy on Saturday and was astonished to see foam and flood debris just a few inches below the roof at the top of the 88 ft pitch and back to Rat Pit Chamber. The only way I can imagine this got there is if the pitch had actually filled up to that level. Does anyone know if this has happened before or is there a simpler explanation?

Considering how high the foam was in Aardvark series was (top of second pitch) I can imagine it completely filled up! High level route was wet looked like that had even flooded.
