Little Meregill

Has anyone done Meregill Hole via Little Meregill?

Any info greatly appreciated, cheers.

No, as the Aven Entrance is so fine.

As I recall it has one moderately tight squeeze (although technically straightforward). Go and see - you may well not die. Discretion being the better part of valour, you might choose to rig one of the other entrances as well, to secure a retreat if necessary.

its not that tight. it has a 90degree bend in it and you get to the pitch by crawling head first straight over it.
the last time i did it, we had the normal rope bags and a camera bag.
we opted to use the mere entrance to remove the sheep though...

Sounds like the Aven Entrance (enter on your side and in less than a metre right angle bend to the right, with a tighter part just before the pitch)
Little Meregill is on the other side of the shake hole (further away from the mere) and starts as a flat out squeeze (well for me anyway) and that's where I turned around!

Yup - sounds more like Aven Entrance. The squeeze in Little Meregill is smaller than the flat out bit, reckon - but it's a few years back when the caves were all larger and easier...
