Help us work out the future of the Inglesport Café
We've been trading since 1977 and next year will be our 50th anniversary.
The café has been part of that for a long time, running quietly in the background for years, and we don't think it always gets the credit it deserves as a genuine community hub. But we need to be straight with you: the café is under real pressure, and we’re not sure of the best path forward.....
WIN 5 X DMM Phantom Screwgate Karabiners!!

You are correct, Pegasus and Rhys! Will teach me to read things properly! I'll enter another photo in place of the Bournillon one.
After helping me last night with the photo of Ogof Rhyd Sych, my daughter helped me choose which other photos to enter. I think she may not have wanted this one as she's in it when she was younger.
Taking the little one's into OFD 1.

I also didn't read the competition properly; there had already been three non-UK caves so I didn't check :OExcellent shots, but not of UK cave entrances. You're fine to post 3 more

Inspired by @aricooperdavis my second's of my mate descending the gully route of Rowten amongst the moss and ferns:
Third shot is from a few heat waves ago when my wife and her friend decided to get away from the infernal Yorkshire heat by going for a dip in Long Churn (bottom picture for context), they couldn't be bothered changing for the way out!

Longwood Swallet, not a dramatic pot hole but the valley is beautiful in the spring time. The permissive path through the valley that I've enjoyed for many years is closed due to ash die back, so it's a treat to visit the cave through the access agreement and briefly glimpse the flora and fauna.

Not the most wonderful entrance but it has a story behind it I’ll never forget…
A pair of us set of to attempt the Marble Cake Hole after the topo had been recently put on the CNCC, this however is NOT that entrance. We completely failed to do any research into where Marble Cake Hole is and ended up in Lost Marbles Inlet instead (pictured above). We then spent an hour crawling with 4 big tacklesacks between us before we came to the conclusion we were absolutely not in the right place and we had made a spectacular mistake.
I think exiting from this entrance was the happiest I have ever been to leave a cave!
We have since made it into Marble Cake Hole (which I entirely recommend as a great and slightly esoteric rig).

Right, lets try this again...
Hunt Pot is less awe-inspiring than nearby Hull Pot as it's quite tricky to see what's down the hole, but as soon as you descend into you realise just how much of a deep void it really is. Must have seemed like a bottomless hole once upon a time...
Probably one of many photos of Alum Pot, and not a great one, but I'm short of entrance photos! At least we know where the gold is buried now, at the end of the sunbeam...
The surprisingly large entrance of Thorns Gill Cave. The cave itself is quite short and full of things that have washed in (car tyres, dead birds, lots of flood debris) making it a somewhat ominous and slightly unpleasant place, but it provides a good comparison to Katnot Cave which has another pleasant entrance and then an excellent canyon streamway passage for several hundred metres (we were after a lazy day, so turned around when it stopped being walking passage). Katnot seemed very clean as it is a resurgence (the water then flows down the gill and into Thorns Gill Cave).
Incidentally the accidental Lost Marbles Inlet trip in the post above is entirely my fault :O

Good effort! Lost Marbles is definitely a collectors piece and surprisingly extensive.
Glad you enjoyed the Cake Hole - it’s definitely a unique rigging challenge!

Shockingly I somewhat want to return and see if I can make it further than we did last time… however without the excess tackle!

Inverted heart tunnel at King’s Cave, Isle of Arran
As cited in the chronicle of Wikipedia: “The current name of the cave is linked to the legend of Robert the Bruce seeking refuge in a cave where he is said to have been inspired [to keep fighting] by watching a spider's numerous and ultimately successful attempts to build a web but this story is widely considered apocryphal.
