Bull Pit: Collapse.
Report from: Steve Knox CCPC.
Report Date: 28/04/2008.
Published: 04/05/2007.
Bull Pit, between Perryfoot and Winnats Pass. A large section of cliff face on the western side, about 10 metres high, by 3 metres wide, has collapsed into the base of the pit, at some time during the past winter. The mass of rock had been separated from the bed-rock behind, due to the action of tree roots. The two 'dark recesses', visible from the field above, are blind. The largest one closes immediately to a natural fault only a couple of centimetres wide, while the other is only a shadowy hollow. The whole area of the fall is extremely loose and shattered. The two old digs in the bottom of the pit are still both open, although would need a major effort to clear out washed in debris.
