Come on Langcliffe; think about that magnificent survey which your old club produced, from memory about 43 years ago!

Well, whether you're offering that or not, you're right!

So go on then, give us another picture to scratch our heads over.

By the way, for anyone who didn't understand my comment: "that magnificent survey which your old club produced, from memory about 43 years ago" - I was referring to the the LUSS Bar Pot and Flood Entrance Pot survey from (I think) 1980, which is a speleocartographical masterpiece and even comes with an explanatory booklet.

Three for Flood; three for Bar; and three for Disappointment.

Would someone else post a piccy, please.
I'm running out of anything decent, so how about a from memory sketch of a pot?

(I was experimenting with an Alfred Wainwright style cave topo. rough, obviously. Interesting how what you remember compares to a survey and other people's recollection).

For anyone interested:

A Deep-Zoom version of the full-size Bar Pot survey is available on my website here.

The original booklet that accompanied the survey is available on the BCRA Online Archive here.

An updated version of the description based on the original booklet is available on my website here.
