Upper Long Churn

Location
Grid Reference: SD

Altitude: m

Top entrance ~300m NW of Alum Pot, lower entrance in same depression as Lower Long Churn.

Description
At the top entrance the water from Borrins Moor Cave flows briefly across the surface before disappearing underground, clambering over some boulders and into a stream passage quickly reaches a climb down at Dr Bannister's Handbasin (handline sometimes used). Across the pool the easy going streamway is followed for a few hundred metres, passing the November Hole inlet on the left. The stream turns sharp right and drops down a waterfall into Lower Long Churn, straight-ahead a short passage emerges into daylight in the same depression as the Lower Long Churn entrance.
