Meregill Hole wire removal

CNCC

Well-known member
Last month a team of keen volunteers got in touch with CNCC to ask about a load of abandoned wire at the bottom of Meregill Hole entrance.

After identifying that this was abandoned (possibly from a rescue long ago), the team descended on 28th April and were able to remove it. As you can see from the photos below, there was rather a lot... nearly two tacklesacks worth!

Many thanks to the volunteers who took the initiative, got in touch, and then took action to clean up this abandoned material. Great work!

Very well done! If that stuff had vound its way into the downstream sump / downstream Roaring sump / Meregill skit it could have caused an accident to a cave diver in the future.

Clean ups are not just about aesthetics . . .
