Had a request to post that the insitu ladder on the entrance pitch of moorfurlong is now completely knackered and not safe to use.
I think it was a 'Ben' Bentham creation, and was poor condition to say the least, but now its completely detached from the top, the mid point join on one side is broken and the bottom has buckled.
If you want a trip down there, take a scaff bar, sling and either an SRT rope, or wire ladder.
I know a 20m rope easily sees you to the bottom, cant recall if a 10m would or not but I personally dont think it would. I've not got caves of the peak to check the exact depth of the entrance shaft.
