What the Trip Is Like

Wowfactor

Estimated Duration: 3.75 hours

Note: This is a vague estimate and probably isn't a good reflection of how long the team were actually underground on this occasion.

A spectacular introductory SRT trip featuring one of Yorkshire's finest underground viewpoints. Enter via Long Churn's Diccan entrance and navigate through stream passages to reach the Dolly Tubs pitch, which drops onto a dramatic balcony overlooking the massive 100m deep Alum Pot shaft. Perfect for developing SRT skills in a stunning setting.
