Valley entrance tomorrow Sunday 16 Nov 25

What are the chances of the master cave stream way being pleasant for a trip from valley entrance up to the bottom of Simpsons pot tomorrow?

Looks like it has been pretty damp yesterday, but today looks dry ish and tomorrow looks fine.

Obviously check nearer the trip time but as things stand I think you'll find it drier than you're perhaps expecting. The west side of the Dales didn't get clobbered with the rain associated with Storm Claudia; it was just draughty. (My gauge at Clapham had 3 mm in it this morning and only 1 mm yesterday morning, so hardly anything over the last 48 hours.) At the moment the forecast is essentially dry today and tomorrow.

Shouldn't be any problem getting to the bottom of Simpson Pot.

I would have thought it will be ok.

Likely to be a lot of ‘perched’ water in the roof tunnel but that can hang around for a few days before it soaks away, even if the master cave has returned to a low level. Actually useful because bags float.

Looking at the rainfall data for Bull Pot Farm, it was wet on the 13th, but has only been mildly damp since then: https://wow.metoffice.gov.uk/observations/details/202511157gha7ngnjee9bmcxxoxff634qr (you’ll need to go to the graph page and enter a date range and select rainfall rate, unfortunately I can’t link to that directly)

Had a good trip, water level was fine, thanks all!
