you can ride several hundreds metres horizontally underground 🙂
Grr, missed it!
hah! I like it. How far in did you go?
it's about 400m in 2 levels with a scramble in between
Don't worry John, we'll do it again next time we're there - provided we have enough lights...
Isn't that a footpath?
Lightweight stuff anyway - somebody I know took a bike to pieces and took it down a proper cave you can't just ride straight into.

the appeal of this is you can just ride in 🙂 The surprise is that it's only 100m from a bridleway I've ridden many dozens of times and I never knew!
Saw something similar a very long time back in MBUK(so long ago it was when it was good), some guy riding the tin mines in Cornwall, reckoned it was possible to virtually cross from one side to the other underground.

well, that sounds more impressive - this was quite small beer in comparison, but still great fun 🙂

Hodge Close ?
The upper entrance is on the right about 200m from Little Langdale ford towards Hodge Close (pictured just above). The far end is quite near Slater Bridge. More pics later.
