Notes

Was staying up in Shap, wandered over to this little beauty. Taking the valley in turned out to be a bad idea, its very steep sideded, better to go via field on left. Anyway after excavating the entrance to not make it such a duck I pushed in through a deep canal into sideways crawling into a more interesting and varied cave complete with chambers, though quite wet in places. Interesting features were formations and dual streamway in places. Pushed a crawl at the top and had a look at a side passage or two. Was underground for about 3 hours.
