Wezzit?

[Pitlamp]

If Langcliffe gives me a gold star (well, OK - maybe a "like"?) for the above answer, please could someone else step in as I'm really busy today . . .

 

[langcliffe]

Sell Gill?

If that's right, it's an extremely interesting survey as it shows the 1990s CPC "re-extension" beyond the former downstream sump was still well known about in 1941. Perhaps the war years are the reason it seems to have slipped from everyone's memory, as folk had far more serious things to think about in the early 1940s.

Well done, @Pitlamp - it is Sell Gill, and it DOES shew the 'CPC Extension'!

The red represents the entrance passage of the Wet Way, and the green is Calcite Way. This is shewn as longer than it really is. I suspect that Calcite Way is seldom visited, despite being by far the best bit of cave in the system. I took a friend who thought that he knew Sell Gill in there a few months ago, and he was well impressed.

 

[Pitlamp]

Grand. (I take it there's no gold star for me then. )

Go on, someone else jump it. Or maybe Langcliffe can delight us with another survey quizz?

 

[langcliffe]

Someone else can jump in.

 

[andys]

Ok, have a go at this bit of a survey - I just love the little stick men telling you how to proceed!

 

[grahams]

Magnetometer Pot River Styx area?

 

[andys]

Not Mag.

 

[Fjell]

Somewhere in the Lakes, or possibly the Broads?

 

[alanw]

Somewhere in the Lakes, or possibly the Broads?

Perhaps a Swallow Hole?

 

[andys]

Not in the Lakes, not in the Broads, and not a swallow hole. One of the great hydrological mysteries of the Dales I believe.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Got to be Mossdale then I guess, mystery being how the cave breaks int Great Scar limestone?

 

[Pitlamp]

I'll plump for an example of weird aboriginal cave art in some rock shelter, somewhere a very long way below where I'm typing!

 

[grahams]

Dub Cote Cave?

 

[andys]

... Graham is nearest so far!

 

[langcliffe]

... Graham is nearest so far!

Penyghent extensions?

 

[andys]

Not Penyghent - different watershed.

 

[Pitlamp]

Ringle Mill?

 

[andys]

That's the one John - section A is pretty much at the entrance. Keep pushing into Austwick Beck Head and who knows - you might pop out there! Anyway, your go.

 

[Pitlamp]

Thanks Andy,

OK, anyone know where this is? (Shouldn't be that difficult, for those who know their caving literature, as it's been published somewhere (can't remember where though!).

 

[Pitlamp]

P.S. it's not Austwick Beck Head!
