Given all the rain we've had over the last 24 hours (A6 under 18" of water in places etc), a thought struck me whilst driving up Taddington Dale. Where is all the water?? For such a pronounced valley there was nothing but a little standing water. (And yes I do know there are plenty of dry valleys in limestone areas)
There are no sinks to talk of on the moors above, and precious little in the way of visible resurgences (although I appreciate there is some water probably rising in the bed of the Wye).
Much of the water will be percolating through, but with such saturated ground, the water must be going somewhere.
Does this indicate the presence of a siginificant cave system, or is the "Taddington Master Cave" an impossibilty?
