Hi all
Here is a fine photograph of North End Pot taken just last week. In the righthand corner we have the new North by North End Pot entrance which connects to LLean Bean Aven and the Eastern Front of the Three Counties System. This thread isn't about that. In the lefthand corner we have the original Earby Pothole club dig which descended two pitches into a fine rift and the spectacular St Georges Hall. Sadly the 40 year old shoring has perished and the entrance pitch of 15m is in a sad state of collapse. In fact it is all but blocked - unless you are a suicidal rabbit.
A few of us have had it in our minds for the last year to reopen the original route by relining the entrance with modern digging materials. We started this last week and I hope to keep this thread updated with our progress. The CNCC have offered to fund the materials for the project so it is just a matter of human resource. Nick Bairstow, Dave Gledhill and Bob Riley have formed a crack team to start the work.
