Large pot survey??

[smollett]

Does anyone know if there is a survey of large pot in existance? I'm interested in getting hold of a survey of the necropolis area if there is one!
Cheers

Yes - the NPC made a survey of Large Pot in their 1982 jounal
also a bit of a survey of Necropolis in Caves & Caving 24 (1984) of the Eldon extn

I'm not sure if you have access to the above -if not pm me with you r email address

Just be aware that there were some errors in levelling in that NPC survey.

(I'm sure someone else has done a higher grade survey since - Derbyshire Caving Club or NCC?) If you glance at the compilation survey (which also includes Rift Pot) in Northern Caves you might get a few leads from the survey credits. (My copy's not available as I type.)

1) NPC Journal 82 - Large Pot - Grade 4/5
2) NCC The Caver 5 - Marble Steps Pot Area Survey Gregareth - Grade 5b
3) NCC The Caver 6 - Ireby, Rift-Large, Low Douk and Marble Steps - Outline plan
4) Northern Caves Vol 3 - Rift Pot, Large Pot System - Outline Plan

Number 2 looks like the best. The levels of Necropolis are very different to the earlier NPC survey, which could be the errors PitLamp refers to

Numbers 3 and 4 look identical except that (3) also includes Ireby Fell Cavern

Yes - the level of Necropolis being different from later surveys was exactly what I was thinking of. I agree that your second one on the list is probably the best option.

How can I go about getting hold of these journals?
