It's a really interesting "planet caving" picture!

OK, try this. Many cavers will not have seen this cave but may be able to work it out. (I may even have used an alterntive picture of this entrance on here before but can't remember.) Anyway, I'll give clues along the way if need be. First clue; Northern Caves Volume 1.

No - but I can see why you might think that, as that's also a flood rising. (Ah, there's another clue; but admittedly this isn't an easy site to identify.)

Another very good guess - but no. It's in Northern Caves Volume 1. An alternative entrance to a well known cave.

OK, that one was probably a bit too off most cavers' radars, so I'll post an easier alternative. (It was Yew Cogar Flood Rising Cave incidentally, in Cowside Beck.)

Try this very well known place instead.

Now you mention it, that does look quite similar to the northern end of Sell Gill Main Chamber up the boulder slope where you climb up from the stream.

But nope.

However, it is in Northern Caves Volume 2, just to start narrowing it down. ;)
