CaveMaps coming to CNCC soon 😍

The latest of our conservation projects taking advantage of Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust funding and CNCC's conservation volunteers. The old fencing was replaced at Sweetwater Hole. A nice partnership between CNCC and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. 🥰

⚠️⚠️⚠️ A few recently reported hazards in two of our very popular potholes:

In North by North End Pot, we have heard of a very recent collapse on the final pitch (Julian’s Leg Up) while a group was ascending, with an extremely large boulder now undermined and in danger of further collapse.

Merry Christmas everyone!🎄 A huge thank you to all our volunteers - the anchor team, admin, training, conservation and all the other supporters that help CNCC keep improving caving for everyone throughout the year! 🥰

We're pleased to add a route description for Devis Hole to our website. This fascinating mine-cave system between Leyburn and Reeth offers cavers an excellent day out, open access, a short walk from the car, and suitable for most weather conditions.
