PEAK DISTRICT CAVING: NEWS: OCTOBER 2009

J.H. (James Hall's Over Engine Mine): Bitch Pitch passable

Report FromMartyn Grayson (personal communication).
Report Date04/10/2009.
Published05/10/2009.

The platform at the top of the pitch collapsed a few weeks ago but this is now passable with care. The original platform has gone, replaced with angle-iron 'ledges' on each side of the passage. Most of the deads below have fallen away and what's left appears to be reasonably stable but should be treated with caution.
