Looks like a bold infinity sign? Or infinitely bold? Neither ring any bells. Another clue perhaps?

That's right Trogger. Blackpool Sands is not far away from this waterlogged passage.

Oomagoolie?

grahams · « **Reply #2878 on:** March 31, 2017, 11:23:14 am »

Afraid not although the Oomagoolie explorers (LUSS) also chased their tails down our mystery passage.

Must be Ouroboros then... thought it was a worm so I checked it out on Google-Wikipedia and all is revealed; bit intellectual that! Didn't help that on the ULSA survey it's spelt Ouroborous with 10 letters not 9; that's a university education for you!

That's the one Trogger. I wondered about the different spellings on various Mossdale surveys but didn't want to over complicate the clue.

Trogger · « **Reply #2881 on:** April 02, 2017, 11:16:32 am »

Over-complicate your clue? It only had one symbol !!

Anyway try this one: "Ever increasing fun to be found in this section of Dales cave? I doubt it!" (6,5,7).

Dowber Ghyll Passage?

Trogger · « **Reply #2883 on:** April 02, 2017, 12:09:41 pm »

No sir - not even with fiddling Gill to Ghyll !

Trogger · « **Reply #2884 on:** April 03, 2017, 02:00:39 pm »

Struggling are you all? It's in NC2 area.

Trogger · « **Reply #2885 on:** April 06, 2017, 11:29:43 am »

Another clue required or has everyone lost interest? Ribblehead area.

Fulk · « **Reply #2886 on:** April 06, 2017, 02:10:22 pm »

Rising Mirth Passage.

(I cheated and looked in NC 2.)

Trogger · « **Reply #2887 on:** April 06, 2017, 06:55:45 pm »

Spot on Fulk! It's in Middle Scar Cave. All yours.

Fulk · « **Reply #2888 on:** April 06, 2017, 08:34:59 pm »

Sounds like tap with extra passage (7,4,4)

grahams · « **Reply #2889 on:** April 07, 2017, 09:11:02 am »

Fawcett Moor Cave?

Fulk · « **Reply #2890 on:** April 07, 2017, 09:43:38 am »

That's right, grahams.

grahams · « **Reply #2891 on:** April 07, 2017, 12:32:18 pm »

Thanks Fulk.

With no hope of it being right Gurt Main?

Gurt Main

grahams · « **Reply #2894 on:** April 07, 2017, 04:50:26 pm »

Strangely enough CrickelMal, no. But you have the right idea.

BTW the clue should read "Right in intestine sounds like a major rising (4, 4)"

Apologies for my uselessness.

andybrooks · « **Reply #2895 on:** April 07, 2017, 10:16:08 pm »

Gurt Jama perhaps?

grahams · « **Reply #2896 on:** April 08, 2017, 08:29:03 am »

Another clue - see chapter 27 CKYD.

grahams · « **Reply #2897 on:** April 12, 2017, 09:37:35 am »

Another clue - this major resurgence feeds a fish farm.

Kevlar · « **Reply #2898 on:** April 12, 2017, 09:50:28 am »

Brow Well?

Sounds like a growl?

grahams · « **Reply #2899 on:** April 12, 2017, 11:33:41 am »

That's the one Kevlar. Bowel homophone with 'r'.
