Wezzit?

Nope; wrong dale.

I've a sneaking feeling I may have posted a similar picture in this topic a long while ago; if so I apologise.
Maybe that's a clue?

Graham S has it. (Sorry for late reply; been out digging.)

Notice how white the floor is. It's porcellanous bed, we think the same one seen so clearly in GG main Chamber. Much of Midge Hole and some of Hurtle Pot & Jingle Pot are formed on it.

(Good call though Langcliffe; it could have been!)

I thought I'd seen something similar before. That floor is very distinctive.

This one features in a corner of the Northern Caves area where there's loads a limestone but not many holes in it:

To narrow it down - this one is in South Cumbia at the base of a lot of limestone. It has an OS map name and a separate Northern Caves name. The all-weather resurgence below the cave is a water supply. I'll give it away in the next couple of days if no answer.

Oh, go on then. It's Pool Bank Cave (Fairies Hole) near Witheslack, photographed in wet conditions when the water level backs up some 6 m and pours out from the (fault guided) entrance ravine.

Blimey, I'd have thought someobne would have got this by now. Better start giving clues.

It only resurges in flood.

It's in the new Northern Caves guide Volume 3 and was in the earlier 1994 edition.
Not just a flood rising, a real cave.
