Hidden Earth 2025
Spectacular finds as Draughting Hole and Missed Pot enter English top ten
45 minute Lecture|Fleur Loveridge
Abstract
It’s two years since I came to Hidden Earth with tales of a new 5km long system in the northern Dales. Since then, the Draughting Hole – Missed Pot System has exceeded 10km in length, putting it in the top ten longest caves in England. This landmark followed a spectacular period of exploration over the winter of 2024/25 where a number genuinely large and immensely well decorated chambers were explored as part of the 8000ers series in the north west of the cave. This talk with give a timely update on the project as well as the endless future prospects.
