Hazards and Warnings
The Draughting Hole - Missed Pot system is an extremely complex maze cave. It is very easy to become disorientated, even within minutes of entering, and if this happens you may struggle to find you way out. The through-trip between the two caves (via Scargill Mine adit) is a serious undertaking, physically and navigationally and presents some serious loose block hazards. Anyone interested in visiting these caves must go with a detailed survey and a clear navigational plan. Multiple trips to learn the system may be needed. You are encouraged to contact York Caving Club to discuss potential trips and routes.

Access
No restrictions
No permission is required. Please be courtous to land owners and follow an reasonable requests they make. Park with respect and don't block gateways etc.
The cave is on access land and approached by public footpath from Stang Foot or the forestry track from Stang Top (the latter avoiding any ascent), with good off-road parking available at both. There are a number of projects ongoing in the area and the team involved are maintaining close contact with the gamekeepers, who have politely asked to know when people will be visiting. Therefore, anyone looking to visit the Draughting Hole/Missed Pot system (or other caves on the same fells) are encouraged to contact York Caving Club, who can notify the gamekeeper ahead of your visit to mitigate any concerns. This is not a requirement, but a polite request.
