But seeing as the area may be getting more attention soon, could anyone possibly help here?
It would be great if you could have a go - it's not desperately urgent, but it would be nice to get something up when the new site goes live - typically we can't give you any idea on that yet as it's still being tested, but 'soon'! The guides do need to be fairly 'dry' descriptions so that nothing is ambiguous, especially down there, so pitch/passage/chamber names are very useful wherever possible.
Though if I'm not mistaken the Lower Series (beyond the bottom of the Dungeon and/or Agony Crawl isn't described?
As for the Bagshawe one, yours certainly is better than the existing one! But it would need some work to bring it onto line with the others - though I appreciate it was written for a different audience, and the bare bones are there.
I just saw your trip report on the Lower Series - it's ironic really that there isn't a good description about, given I've read JW Puttrell's trip report of this section, from 1904 or something. He moaned about not having any kneepads on the section between the Lake and the sumps. I would too.
Yeah, part of me would like a description to exist of all the bits at the bottom of Bagshawe Lower (and I've no doubt they exist in someone's paper journal somewhere offline), and then another part of me is enjoying the element of exploring it from the survey and learning about it from exploring it. It's less efficient, but more fun. I'll probably break and ask questions here at some point, but for the time being it seems to be enough for me.
Umm, just ask for the code and your in. No big deal guys.....
I've been writing a Bagshawe Cavern microguide (have a look at the one you already have - this is better!)https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rJLVAE4iZ44GPk8_CVS8VHw-4KXlgKTMpJ0TyLtXi_Y/edit?usp=sharing
As you return, you can if you like follow the route to the upstream sumps. This is a long long long ass miserable wet crawl over rubble to nowhere.

It's OK, I went up there last year when the water was low on a TSG trip. Thought I'd wandered into Peak Cavern
