Upper Flood
Upper Flood first became known to the modern caver when water was seen running down a hole in the Blackmoor valley during the July 1968 floods. There followed 17 years of digging, making slow but steady progress with an occasional chamber to provide encouragement. Then in April 1985 came the breakthrough into Midnight chamber and 300ft of beautifully decorated streamway.
The following pages give a brief history of the Upper Flood exploration from 1968 to the present.
