Hidden Earth 2024
Major Extensions in Redhouse Lane Swallet
45 minute Lecture|Tim Nichols

Abstract
Redhouse Lane Swallet was explored in 1991 after years of hard effort by Paul Taylor and the Redhouse Diggers. The 1.6km system discovered ended at a boulder choke at the end of an impressive streamway. Despite its potential, other projects intervened and the wet and small nature of the entrance series put many off returning. Until in 2022, inspired by Paul's enthusiasm, and motivated by Tim Nichols, the next generation of Redhouse Diggers took the gauntlet. Finally, after much effort, the team broke through on 8th August 2024 into some of the most impressive passages in the country. This talk will show these discoveries and discuss the significance of the find and the cave's relationship with nearby Slaughter Stream Cave.
