Hazards and Warnings

Warning 1 year ago

April 2023: Report received of collapse in the entrance passage of Frog Pot before Toad U So Pitch. A large block has dropped into the passage with smaller debris blocking the way on. The left side of this stretch of passage is not solid rock, being formed in debris from post-glacial landslide, visible on the surface. Extreme care needed. We assume the blockage is not currently passable.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: Occasional scour tests are performed at Scar House Reservoir upstream of the Goyden/New Goyden/Manchester Hole system. This involves the release of water from the reservoir and can cause serious downstream flooding including the caves. Cavers are strongly advised to check the dates of future scour tests online (www.yorkshirewater.com/about-us/reservoir-scour-testing/#nidd), with the relevant dates being for Scar House Reservoir, typically twice per year. There is also a large blue sign at the start of the road to Scar House Reservoir warning of the next scour test date and the risks to anyone in the caves. Finally, be aware of the possibility that extremely strong winds can cause overtopping if the reservoir is very full which can cause flood pulses downstream.
