Wezzit?

Cheers Pitlamp..I was gonna make a reference to Simpson's pot or that I'd see you up at Gaping Ghyll but I fear you might chuck me down the hole.
Anyway, this is not quite as obscure as the last..hopefully clues may not be needed.

 

[Pitlamp]

Make that Simpson (no apostrophe "s") Pot and Gaping Gill and I'll know what you're on about!

Is that Northgate in GG?

 

[skippy]

Yep, Northgate. Far Country, Gaping Gill ..back over to you Pitlamp.

 

[Pitlamp]

Oh dear - better try and find something else.

Rummage, rummage . . . .

Try this; not particularly obvious but many of you will have been past it, or at least within 10 m of it (but probably never in it).

 

[Babyhagrid]

Is it jingling cave?

 

[Pitlamp]

Nope. (But you're on the right side of the Dales.)

 

[Mark]

Conduit cave, Ribblehead

 

[LadyMud]

Otterstone?

 

[Pitlamp]

No and no - but they're both good guesses and you're not far away . . .

 

[Steve Clark]

Lower Sunset / the other entrance, not sure if they’re the same thing(?). The one just to the right of the path at a bend before the gate with the sheepfolds.

 

[Pitlamp]

Apology for late reply (been away building a winch at a well known pothole).

Not Lower Sunset Steve - but you're within around 3 miles of it.

 

[Pitlamp]

OK, more clues - further to the original post saying "many of you will have been past it, or at least within 10 m" you probably weren't in caving gear at the time.

Oh - and it's a sink rather than a rising. Part of the Ribble catchment.

The exit from Borrins Moor then you can follow the stream and pop back underground by going down the spout into Doctor Bannister's Handbasin and on into Long Churn? (not sure of the name)

 

[Pitlamp]

Sorry, no. Unrelated to Alum Pot. You're just down the road though with that suggestion.

 

[Fjell]

The nondescript hole on the right between the junction and the Station.

 

[Pitlamp]

No but you're close.

 

[digscaves]

No but you're close.

Football Cave?

 

[Pitlamp]

That's the one; all yours.
