a) CAVE HOLE (BOGGARTS ROARING HOLES area) Two team members, walking from Ingleton to Gaping Gill, found that a sheep was stranded about 10m down in Cave Hole. Re-inforcements were called. A team member abseiled in and wrestled the sheep into a flight bag before it was hauled to the surface and released, a little stiff, but not seriously harmed.
Cave Hole – an undignified exit.
b) FIFE POT (GREY SCARS area) Cavers had also heard a lamb, bleating very loudly, about 7m down in Fife Pot. The team moved on and the procedure was repeated. The lamb trotted off to be re-united with its mother.
Another lucky survivor
