Pippikin Pot Location

From Ease Gill

Pippikin Pot Location[edit | edit source]

From Link Pot, ascend the south side of the gill, onto Leck Fell. It is steep at first: pick a route. When the gradient eases, head slightly right towards the wall. The cave is in a long narrow shakehole, containing a small tree; it is about 100m away from, and just downhill from, an obvious kink in the wall (containing Smokey Hole).

At the lower end of the shakehole is a large open pot, Nippikin Pot. Pippikin Pot is about 30m up the shakehole, just over a little ridge, and about 10m down from a stream sink. There are three feasible-looking holes down between boulders: the entrance is the right-most of the lower two.
