Another non-SRT cave for the Sunday trip.
A quick drive over to Dentdale to meet new member Andy and explore a cave I had not done since 2010.
Andy had got there before us and had found the entrance but had not started to excavate the gate from the pile of flood debris!
After a few minutes moving logs and branches we were able to get to the gate, which fortunately was removable. If it had been hinged we would still be there digging out grot.
There was a straight forward passage to the main chamber and then many side passages, mainly below the "floor" of the main chamber. This floor was really just collapsed ceiling but most of the collapse had happened a long time ago.
We followed several of the leads to sumps or until they became too unpleasant before heading out to look for the other entrances to the cave (which we failed to find).
Team: Andy, Lukasz & Dave.
Time: About 2.5 hours.
