steviet_scg has it – Long Kin West . . . do you see what I mean? It doesn't look like a 100-m shaft.
 
It really doesn't (great photo tho) bit of a random guess really from the clues.

I'll post a photo when I get chance but if anyone wants to jump in feel free.

Encountered this unorthodox rigging at a pitch head this week...

Last time I saw anything like that was when the legendary, and seldom encountered Stafford Speleos pirated Lancaster Hole back in the 90s.

Slit pot?
Apologies for my tardiness in responding, Slit Pot it is indeed!
As for explanation I am led to believe it was some kind of climbing style pull through involving the tying together of a 40 and a 30m rope (I'm not a climber and don't really understand it). But this then started to twist as it got rather energetically pulled through, eventually providing us with this delightful pseudo daisy chain effect!

Excuse me butting in, but the thread looks to be flatlining...
Here is a photo I found when having a bit of a tidy in our loft. I have no memory of it whatever, but fortunately it is described on the back.
So Q1 (easy) - wezzit?
Q2 (harder bonus) - wenzit?
Q3 (unanswerable) - look at the rope. How am I attached to it? Oh - I'm not, what was I thinking??

1) Calf Holes
2) 1978
3) We've seen you less in contact with a rope than that!
1. Yes, 2. close enough - Easter 1976 apparently. Wetsuits were of course de rigeur in the 70s. 3. haha. Descenders? who needs 'em?

Over to you, or Graham, whoever's first...
