Scanty Lardos description

Scanty Lardos Pot at the top of Penyghent Gill near Halton Gill, is proving to be an increasing popular trip. The cave, a relatively recent discovery, sports three recently-anchored pitches, some good formations, and can be well-watered and dramatic (although you may wish to think twice about descending in very wet conditions, which can make the entrance impassible).

We are pleased to now add a route description to our website to accompany the topo, with thanks to the volunteer who submitted this.
