Wezzit?

Is it the bottom passage in Pool Sink, where one is forced to leave the stream by climbing up a couple of metres into a bedding?
 
Not on the Manchester Bypass. I thought Langcliffe may have gotten it by now, given that his route description is the best source of info on it!
 
It is Ignorance is Bliss! This bit on your description Langcliffe: 'keep your eyes peeled for a bedding plane passage on a shelf to the right [..] enter this. It's flat out, about 15 metres long'
 
I don't remember so much topography in the floor. It's a fabulous route.

I'll post summat tomorrow.

Right - here is one of Simpson's plan surveys dating from 1941, but at the lay-out stage and lacking meaningful detail. North is to the right, and the red passage at the bottom is about 25 metres long.

The clues are there....

Sell Gill?

If that's right, it's an extremely interesting survey as it shows the 1990s CPC "re-extension" beyond the former downstream sump was still well known about in 1941. Perhaps the war years are the reason it seems to have slipped from everyone's memory, as folk had far more serious things to think about in the early 1940s.
