Hazards and Warnings
Work to stabilise the entrance to Penyghent Pot was completed on Sunday 6th August 2017 after three weekends of work by various volunteers. All of the old scaffolding was removed and new scaffolding has been installed. Larger blocks further down the shaft have been stabilised with lintels as best as possible. A new mesh lid has been fitted to make it sheep-proof. Anyone visiting this cave is strongly advised to pay particular attention and to check for loose rocks and scaffolding on the descent; despite all our best efforts, there may still be some loose debris, or more rocks may become loose as the new entrance and scaffold beds itself in and settles. You must make your own judgement as to whether it is safe and appropriate to descend. Particular care is also required in the region just beyond the bottom of the entrance shaft due to a number of large boulders. Please report any observations to the CNCC and check here for warnings of such observations before any trip.
