NEW CAVE

SD 6762 8067 Length included in Ease Gill Caverns

The entrances to New Cave and Wretched Rabbit


WARNING

Liable to severe flooding in wet weather.


A low bedding entrance behind rock on the left of the entrance to WRETCHED RABBIT. A low crawl for 9m reaches the head of a 6m pitch. Below this a tight squeeze leads to a short length of canal passage and a connection via a choke and squeeze to an inlet in WRETCHED RABBIT

Back at the head of the pitch a climb up leads into a dry, meandering canyon passage to the top of another 6m pitch. At the foot of this is a small chamber with two small inlet passages entering, and an outlet passage which can be followed in a twisting fissure passage until it becomes choked with sand. This possibly connects with upper end of WRETCHED RABBIT
