Is there a good survey of Aygill Caverns anywhere?
My search so far has unearthed several disjointed fragments, but nothing that is even close to being comprehensive. Here's what I've got so far:
1. NSG 1966/1969 Grade 5 Loose Survey
2. RRCPC Journal 5 - Red Rose Series (1970)
3. ULSA Journal 89 - Precambrian Series (1971)
4. Northern Caves Vol 3 (1994) - Very small scale outline
5. English Nature SSSI - Small Scale outline (see www.northerncavemonitoring.org.uk)
No. 1 is well out of date.
No. 2 has the north arrow the wrong way round, but once you realise that, it does join on
No. 3 doesn't join onto the NSG survey, there's a gap of 200ft
No. 4 is almost useless
No. 5 joins up the three main pieces, but the shape of the Red Rose Series in particular doesn't match the RRCPC survey, which might indicate that it is just an inaccurate sketch
I seem to remember that there was a framed survey on the wall of Bull Pot Farm at one time, what was that?
I also seem to remember seeing a centreline in Survex as part of the Ease Gill resurvey project, how much of the system did that cover?
