For future reference, park on left hand side a minute drive after White scar in the big layby next to ruined building. Follow the obvious path up the hillside all the way to the top (over a wall). Once at top by limestone pavement, bear left towards just above the bottom of the right hand slope of Ingleborough. The cave is in line with where the right hand slope of Ingleborough intercepts with a small embankment sloping the opposite way.
Very efficient trip, great fun. A bit of water but not too much and the duck was only 1/3 full. Great with the neofleece. Would make a very sporting trip during wetter periods. We made it all the way down to the sump which was great.
Fairly easy SRT, though one of the deviations is a bit awkward, and isn't really all that necessary in dry weather anyway.
Great fun!
