I never did Serendipity on ladder, I'm pleased to say, but that photos brings memories of climbing ladders in the likes of Swinsto and Hardrawkin.
Below is a little known pothole which doesn't go anywhere, but it may still be worthy of further digging in view of its location. It's a long rift, with one end now largely filled with digging debris held back by stepped shoring, and impressive fluting at the other. At the bottom, the small amount of water runs away in a low but wide bedding. The first photo (courtesy of the NMMC) shews the approximate location, and the second a view from the top.
