Sunset Hole

Today we had planned on a trip to Hardrawkin Pot where none of us had been before, so after breakfast we parked in the already busy layby past the Old Hill Inn on the way to Ribblehead and got our caving gear on.
It was very warm wearing fleece undersuits and PVC oversuits as we walked in the sun heading along the track towards Ingleborough before veering off to follow a drystone wall after we had passed through a gate.
We knew that we were looking for a pronounced dip in the ground which the wall followed and was near to Hardrawkin Pot, but when we reached a further wall and crossed a stile in the corner, we recognised we had arrived near the location of Meregill Hole and there was no sign of the dip in the wall or Hardrawkin Pot!
After going upslope towards Ingleborough to see if we could get a better vantage point, we realised we were nowhere near the right location and decided to head back towards the paved footpath leading up towards Ingleborough which we could see a few hundred yards away and then try and locate Sunset Hole as we knew more or less where that was after having been there a couple of times before and we also luckily had the right combination or ropes to do that as well.
I soon found the entrance to Sunset Hole in a small section of limestone pavement and was soon joined by the other two.

We had an enjoyable trip including the really nice pitch into the large chamber at the usual end of the cave.
