Parked of on the roadside intending to clamber up onto Gragareth and along to Great Coum, then back and over Whernside. Noticed Yordas Cave on the map, so being inquisitive, and having a suitalble torch and clothing, went back to have a look. You just need to switch on the torch, slip off your pack, bend down and go into the hole. You’ll be amazed that it is so easy to enter such a large cave and not have to crawl, get muddy, risk drowning etc. Go on. Have a look.
Yordas Cave is fascinating but take care and make sure you have a good torch. We visited with Manchester & Salford Ramblers this weekend and exiting we didn’t realise there was a deep fissure on the left hand side. One of our party fell in! The water was up to his knees and only the top of his head was visible. He could have banged his head on the roof of the cave and suffered concussion. Potentially very dangerous.
