North pot to South pot..the newest(and possibly finest)through trip in the Dales.
Discovered up at Gaping Gill area last weekend:-

With evidence of those that have been before.
The opportunity to study elements of their lifestyle in a remote and secluded environment.
Could be a research project there??

I can imagine a trip to Swinstos great aven and then having to climb all the way back out of Swinsto would be pretty crap.

Done that ? on ladders ? before Valley Entrance was opened up.

Is it Sulber Pot with the park bench in the bottom?

If so then one for the smokers, a fag on the bench down Sulber, or whatever else non smokers can find to do on park benches.

A trip that would also include a possibly humourous photo opportunity.

One for when the winch meet is on.

You desperately need a crap, so waddle your way up to Gaping Gill to relieve yourself in the most remote temporary toilet in the North.

I had an idea of making a book with 50 pointless trips in it, trips where there is a fair bit of effort for an entirely pointless outcome. Some ideas are:

1) A Wade's Entrance - OBJ exchange in GG

2) Yordas Big 20: Every possible exchange in Yordas, done in a day, no leaving rigging in place (as there are 5 entrances to Yordas and we're cointing A to B as a different trip to B to A).

3) Eldon Hole exchange of the North, South, East and West entrance routes (I actually did this once on a Friday night)

4) Darren Cilau, going through the entrance series and then turning round and going out agian

5) Pierre Saint Martin not as a pullthrough, going back out up the pitches.

Can anyone think of any others?

Great idea btw. I think there is far more scope here than just pointless eliminates though.
