Some Caving Routes in the Dales
John Gardner's web site contains
a series of articles intended for the guidance of
experienced cavers who may not be familiar with the better
routes through the more complex systems in the Yorkshire
Dales. Guide books are necessarily limited in the fullness
of their descriptions, and their task is not to detail
"recommended routes". It is hoped that these articles will
help fill that gap. This is an on-going exercise, and more
routes will be added as time permits.

sump conditions.
