Title: Alyn cave/ sink hole on move again .. video

River bed dropped more in last few days.

Actual sink hole ever so slightly less deep as the crap hanging above has let go as it's dried out and dropped it.

Link to video of the new waterfall here (Sarah bollocking kids for climbing about above sink hole in first few seconds)

River bed has dropped in last few days. Wasn't like that when we took Millie for her walk a few days ago.

Cheers,

Think you should be able to click on it without logging in though? Assuming you can't.... Yup.

Dear mr Watts as you are the access officer and filming the Alyn sinks could you go out of your way and have the lower lock removed by the country park as i would like to go down the pot on thursday to see if anything has moved, your eternal friend a vice chairman and if you do not get it done i will not paint your f..kin house,you have been warned ps cannot leave my name as it would look like i am wanting more than other club members.

Thanks for the video Tim, the hole looks a little deeper than it was before the heavy rain caused the river to flow normally. I guess there is still some movement. I agree with Mick, we really should get down the pit in the Leete cave and see if anything has changed. Sadly I am away for a few days in Scotland from this Thursday, but would like a look and poke around at some stage.

It would be interesting to remove the big heap of rubble overshadowing the craster so we could safely venture in and have a dig...

Sorry guys. Still on route home from a few days away with Sarah and the kids.

I'll nip down for a look either tonight or in morning. Lock definitely wasn't on a week or so ago.

Will report back asap and maybe nip down the internal chamber fir a quick look see.

Watch this space.

Mick I'll call u as soon as I know lock situation in morning.
