Short story for those in a rush...
From 1st April 2022 the CNCC will no longer be facilitating a permit system for Birks Fell Cave. This is not an April fools joke
In-keeping with this cave being on Access Land, we advise cavers that no advanced permission is required to visit Birks Fell Cave after this date. Please park cars responsibly (Buckden car park is a good choice, modest fee with proceeds to the National Park), change with discretion, use public rights of way and Access Land to reach the cave, and be respectful to others including the tenants of Redmire Farm if you meet them.
There is a description and topo on the CNCC website (https://cncc.org.uk/cave/birks-fell-cave). Dry, settled weather is essential.
Long story for those interested in some background...
