Snorkel required or not?
O. G.
The rivers & streams up there are going down again, likeleyhood of rain forecast at 20%, so you should be fine. You can go down to the original eof the cave (the Gallery) in most conditions as long as u r clothed appropriately. It's only when you go below there you've got to be careful.
Oh, and remember to take an adjustable spanner with you for the entrance grille.

Doubt it, had no rain for several days. I've only seen it flooded once in over 30 years and on that occasion, it was a nice sunny day and flood was receding, so we went down to the Gallery anyway, it was great fun! The cave is transformed when active. 8) Dried up while we were down there as the stream receded back up the valley.

If you can get in OK & there's no heavy or prolonged rain forecast you should be fine. The water drops out very quickly. You may find the entrance has flood debris in it though! It's an excellent & really interesting trip & worth going to the end, with a detour down to Room 101 on your way back out. Do take care in the scaffolded climbs in case the recent prolonged rain has dislodged any loose rocks. And enjoy!
In my defence.
I'm easily led: read on;
Did t' search, you know? see top of page.
Organised t' trip.
Took the oh! I'm double-booked phone calls.
Readied myself (And Bradley! gaurdian of 'Owd-Git caving H.Q.)
Besuited in a fetching shade of shitty- plumb undersuit, besplendant England football shorts and the obligatory pink-laced pit-boots. (you know i couldn't claim that spuriously!.)
I forged my way O're hill and Dale. To the latest abode of an intrepid fellow caver in Parwich.
I left the new gaurdian of 'Owd-Git' caving H. Q. in place.
On the entrance I reccie-ed the lower entrance. Tho opted for the rear entrance (keep your thoughts clean!Jons kid's were at home.)
I was met at the entrance walk by kathryn, she led the trip to the kitchen, a spacious and suprisingly well lit chamber.
We hailed the rest of the party from t' PS2. or 3 watevva!
Jon managed to negociate 'the Hallway',
better than head-height passage, with several ways off!
we took a recumbant position at a 'table' to further plan the route.
After Jon and family had snacked we assailed 'the way of stairs' to a passage with four or so leads off.
Jon was concerned re- a draughting in a chambre off the corridor so we traversed to a light and draught connection with, probably, the outside.
I advised new and more effetive metal-work. ( This would stop a draughty window.)
The return journey was interupted with a discussiion re- a major dig!!!!
a wall, preventing a free passage to a good duck! (and a rubber one,)
We latterly, having agreed a further job or two on his new house, retired to the home of hen-racing, as it was too late to make further use of my rediculous attire.
In short; Yes !
That was my van.
If you mean t' silly racing Transit.
Piccies to follow.
