Good to see the photographs Simon.
This is what it looks like in the cave described as "the most serious undertaking in British Caving"...
The caves on Great Whernside Mountain certainly have a character that sets them apart from anywhere else in Britain.....
The Primus stove photo..... history preserved..... do you know who this belonged to..... who were the brave chaps who camped down there?
Your articals are always an entertaining read..... looking forward to the next installment..

Great to see your article in Descent. Well done.
Went down three times in the Seventies and I don't recall seeing any of that crap in the cave. The only thing we saw was Pooh's diving line tying up a couple of boulders and then disappearing under a pile of them! We were there not long after the ULSA lads were trapped.
We dug out the boulders, following the line, and got through eventually.
Total time first trip was over 16 hours! Last time was a more respectable 9 or 10. That's probably the time to expect if you go down - it's a big trip.
