Access
Incline and Sough: No problem, as it's just next to the Lathkill public footpath, but be aware it is within a National Nature Reserve. An agreement has been drawn up between the Derbyshire Caving Association and Natural England (English Nature as was).

No prior permission is required, but.... all lights must be electric (i.e. no Carbide)and all visitors must be affiliated in one way or another to the National Caving Association, and the rest is just common sense. A 24mm or large adjustable spanner is required to open the gate on the adit/incline entrance.

- Founder Shaft: No access.
