Ladyside Wood Resurgence

Does anyone have the location of Ladyside Wood Resurgence, also known as Wych Elm Pot, and has any work or progress been made there since the Days of the Darfar Pothole Club?...

Have you tried checking the Derbyshire Cave Registry via www.thedca.org.uk then go to the access section. It should be listed.

Have just checked myself : Ladyside Cave and Ladyside Pot are listed but nothing under the name of Ladyside Wood resurgence.

Have you a reference which you have seen about this place?

Hi and thank you Jenny, I have down in my own notes that Ladyside Wood Resurgence and Wych Elm Pot both refer to the same location.
One reference I do have is "Wych Elm Pot, The Derbyshire Caver No 138 Autumn 2015 page 13" Mel wrote an article about potential sites in the River Hamps and Manifold valleys

If you do figure out where it is, let me know and I'll add it to the registry.

I think you'd need to contact one of the former Darfar PC members to try and find out where that site is, given that the article was something Mel wrote shortly before she died.

Ladyside Wood Resurgence is also mentioned in DCA Newsletter 98 p.2, in connection with a dye testing experiment. It seems to be somewhere upstream of Magic Mushroom Resurgence.
