Returned to the surface, damper and muddier than before.

Testing the deep pool for depth. Anything to be kept dry is in the rucksack. The water is not very warm.

    Wow, is that a winch into gaping gill? I remember moseying over Ingleborough and peering down into that darkness and wondering what was in there. In all the darkness it sure looked a long way dooooooooown............

    Yes, it's a winch!
    On the last week in August, every August, the Craven Pothole Club organise a winch. Bradford Pothole Club do it in May each year.
    It is a very very long way down......
