Field Trip: White Scar Cave - 14th August 2016
Field|Mr John Webb

Abstract
Craven Pothole Club field trip into White Scar Cave which EuroSpeleo members are welcome to join.
This famous UK show-cave consists of a long vadose streamway including sections of swimming and deep water traversing in a classic stream canyon. After approx 400m of show-cave we leave the public path to enter the main stream by swimming 150m to a major boulder choke. Care is needed as we traverse through the choke which breaks out into a long vadose canyon up to 20m high for over 1000m. The final section consists of wading through low arches in a 10m wide phreatic streamway to Sump 1. Return is via the same route making the trip a total of approx 3000m.
NOTE: Due to the swimming section and final phreatic wading sections it is necessary to wear a neoprene or neo-fleece suit. Electric lamps are mandatory (NO carbide) and a fee of £2.50 has to be paid to pass through the show-cave. Meet at the White Scar Cave car-park at 09:45hrs on Sunday 14th August.
NOTE: Pre-registration will be required, apply at Reception or online closer to the date
