Austwick Beck Head?

Ringle Mill

No and no. Right sort of altitude though . . .

Thought this one might cause some head scratching. Many of you will have walked past it en route to a classic pothole.

 

[thehungrytroglobite]

Puzzling. I would guess Beckhead Stream Pot (or whatever it is actually called) but given the height of the entrance I don't think it would look like that just inside, though I've never been in. The well-known pothole you speak of is most likely Gaping Gill. Could be Alum of course, but that's a bit further from the region in which a wild Pitlamp is often found frolicking through the bog. So I'll guess GG. On the route to GG? I can't think of another resurgence or any cave with that much water in the entrance besides the resurgence of fell beck by Ingleborough Cave. That is the same altitude as this but the entrance is much bigger than what the photo looks like. So I'm stumped. Unless it is actually something on Alum side, like that cursed Borrins Moor. But that is a higher altitude. Stumped indeed

 

[Babyhagrid]

I remember there being a cave below alum pot with a horizontal development. But I don't remember the name yet

 

[Babyhagrid]

Selside cave?

 

[snebbit]

Foxholes?

 

[Pitlamp]

(Tee hee); no, none of you is right.
Keep heading west. 😏

 

[thehungrytroglobite]

The mention of the 'classic' pothole is confusing me, hmmm. I presume we are no longer talking about the standard route to GG. Although what constitutes as a classic pothole is another topic up for debate

 

[Pitlamp]

Definitely not GG system. Head west!

 

[RobinGriffiths]

A bit more west then... How about one of the Greenwood Pots in Crinna Bottom. I notice #2 is subject to serious flooding.

 

[Alex]

Nah I don't think that's greenwood, I have been in there it don't look like that. Maybe Greensett cave?

 

[Pitlamp]

No x 2 - but Robin's suggestion aint too far away . . .

Remember that clue; passed on the way to a classic pothole.

How about Granite Quarry Rising ?

 

[Pitlamp]

Bingo; well done Greybeard!

The photo is in the North East rising (or S116, as per Yorks. Geological & Polytechnic Society's late Victorian study of the underground hydrology of Ingleborough). It's a very wet cave; hence the remark about few people likely to have been in it. The two risings are collectively the resurgence for Tatham Wife Hole (which was the classic pothole I alluded to, the main cavers' route to which goes past the GQRs).

All yours Greybeard.

 

[Greybeard]

This is part of the 3 counties system and if you have ever rigged it you will remember where it is.

 

[Alex]

Looks like the pitch in Notts pot, first pitch in the "lower streamway" section?

 

[IanWalker]

@Greybeard there seems to be something odd about that krab on the right. what's happening there?

 

[Babyhagrid]

88 foot pitch?
