Don’t know where it is, but is the “model” giving the photographer “The Finger” 😂

They are! They're clearly not as passionate as me about this alternative route in Easegill

 

[langcliffe]

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?

 

[snebbit]

It isn't, but I'd guess you're less than 200 metres away. Not that that helps much in this part of the system

I may have got the scale wrong but is it the Stop Pot bypass crawl?

 

[snebbit]

Getting much closer Greybeard!

 

[langcliffe]

I cannot get a sense of scale - how high is the passage?

 

[snebbit]

Flat out but not tight

 

[Fulk]

The passage from 4-Ways Chamber to Stop Pot?

 

[snebbit]

Not the 4-Ways to Stop pot passage

The start (or end) of this route was found in a time of great injustice

 

[grahams]

Gypsum Passage to Easter Grotto?

 

[Babyhagrid]

Poetic justice ?

 

[snebbit]

Babyhagrid is closest so far, both physically and spiritually

 

[Fjell]

So presumably somewhere on the Manchester Bypass? Don’t know where.

 

[snebbit]

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!

 

[langcliffe]

It must be Iggy, but I don't recognise it.

 

[snebbit]

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'

 

[langcliffe]

I don't remember so much topography in the floor. It's a fabulous route.

I'll post summat tomorrow.

 

[langcliffe]

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....

 

[langcliffe]

Sorry - I meant to say that the cave is in the Dales,

 

[Pitlamp]

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.
