New cave for us all, it was good fun. Was a bit difficult to interpret the description but we had a good poke around all the passages. Lots to look at, but quite a few deadends too. The entrance shaft is pretty cool. Would recommend it as a nice Sunday bimbly trip.

After driving and marching through the river on Masongill Lane we found the cave really easily. The “new” entrance in the guidebook was apparently off to the side, traversing a pit and heading into a crawl. We found this quickly and Adam started rigging across.

No we didn't, we went to the sump! We started at the wrong end of the dale for Carlswark, we worked down towards Stoney from Furness Quarry.
