Rowten Pot Sump Lines

[Daniel Rose]

Hi all,
The CNCC website says that the dive lines running through the 3 sumps in Rowten are down to a few threads

Does anybody know if these have been replaced/are planning on being replaced?

Thanks

I would also be interested to know.

Someone mentioned replacing the 8m one recently but not the 2m ones. I'm not sure whether the cncc warning refers to the state of the 2m lines or if the 8m line has already deteriorated.

Whatever, bear in mind the deluge which took place on New Year's Eve may have rendered any information from before then suspect.

My friends replaced one of them recently, can't remember which one it was. Think it may have been the 8m

Long sump relined in October, but other lines said to be in poor condition:

Rowten Sumps

We did a trip last night (Friday) to have some practice goes through the Rowten Sumps in KMC. There is a bit of sheath wear on the rope through the 8m sump, underwater 1-2m or so in from the Rowten side. We didn't have any spare suitable rope with us to replace it with. As a bit of trip report...

Dived them today and all three lines are in good condition as of 11/01/2025, for anyone else wondering who finds this thread.
