Good afternoon all speleologists!
I have been writing in the Royal Meterological Society's 'Weather' publication for a number of years now. I write about survival of snow on the hills of Scotland, Wales and England. For many years I had assumed that no snow survived in England much past May or June, and that if it did it would be generally in the Pennines or Lakes.
However, I received a report from a caver a few months back, informing me that he came across a large snow plug in November 2010. The report of the correspondence, and of the general chat, is here: http://www.winterhighland.info/forum/read.php?2,149146
What I'm after is a report from anyone on here as to whether the huge snow deposits of late March has filled up the hole in any way. The opening is aligned SE/NW, so would have been ideal for the snow that fell recently. Any reports or photos would be most welcome indeed.
A long shot... I will be up that neck of the woods on the week commencing 22nd April. I'd be dead keen to actually get down there, if that's at all possible. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Iain
