Was Valley Entrance acting as a resurgence? Reckon the pitch to the streamway would have been an awful lot shorter than normal...

We went for a quick trip down Valley Entrance yesterday. It was amazing to see all the little inlets in full flow, including a waterfall just inside the entrance. It was mostly waist deep wading to the pitch, where the water level was about 4' down from the top. It must have still been rising at that point though.

An amazing day!

I went down Pikedaw with Andyj23UK and we were oblivious to the mayhem above ground.

Driving home afterwards there were flooded roads everywhere and the weir at Settle was spectacular.

Great stuff.

Great vid. Went for a look at the river at Chaple-le-Dale church yesterday and it was in full spate - up to the bridge parapet, shame I didn't get a vid but it was very impressive. The Lune at Kirby was also pretty impressive.

Sell Gill dry route was not dry lol. I would have loved to have seen the main chamber if only someone had p-bolted the far wall of the 3rd pitch so I could have got down is safely.
