Notts 2 Sunday, 30 September 2007 Very pleasant sunday trip into Notts 2 - a trip I had been wanting to do for ages but hadnt got round to. The entrance shaft was impressive. Both the upstream and downstream sumps were visited and various inlets explored to various degrees. Some of...

Crystal Cave/Dog Hole connection Saturday, 29 September 2007 As it was a CPC meet to Barbondale I took the chance to have a look at the infamous connection between Crystal Cave and Dog Hole, which takes the form of the awkward Barkers Passage leading to an extremely tight squeeze only passable...

Out Sleets Beck Pot Saturday, 22 September 2007 Fine trip down this classic pothole on Penyghent Gill. As I still had the parents landrover (which was reason was over in dales as had to return it 🙁 ), we took advantage of this by driving most of the way to the...

Rowten - Valley Entrance (and back again) Saturday, 1 September 2007 With the low water conditions and not really fancying Birks Fell having done it fairly recently, I set out to do another trip I'd been keen to do for a while - the through trip from Rowten to Valley Entrance....
