Parking is at the usual Leck Fell parking spot - as indicated on the CNCC permit.

A very large shakehole about 600 m north-west of the parking spot, and 120 m from the wall.

Description
A short pitch lands on the floor of the open hole. A short passage and traverse provides a connection to Short Drop Cave. At the far end of the open hole is a further climb/pitch followed by a walled shaft to the stream. The stream is followed for a short distance before it starts cutting down and descends the two final pitches and lands at the sump.

This sump connects with Lost Johns' Cave and after many hundreds of metres of diving with Pippikin Pot

Access
Access is through a Leck Fell Permit. A closed season operates in the months of April, May and June.
