Named after Eli Simpson, Simpson Pot is one of several entrances into the West Kingsdale System in North Yorkshire, England. It is popular with cavers, as it is possible to descend it by abseiling down the pitches, retrieving the rope each time, and exiting from the Valley Entrance of the Kingsdale Master Cave, located at the base of the hill. A trip through Simpson Pot consists of a series of short pitches, a duck through ''The Blasted Hole'', followed by the deep ''Slit Pot'' at the bottom of which is the junction with Swinsto Hole. A small pitch and some low passages leads into the Kingsdale Master Cave stream way. This is followed to a sump, above which a previously equipped ascent is made into the ''Roof Tunnel'' at the end of which is the Valley Entrance. At one point the water disappears into a shaft, with the normal way on being over into a dry passage. Occasionally, cavers abseil into this and are unable to retreat, requiring rescue. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Incident 58/2012 – Sep 15 Sat 22.26 Simpson’s Pot, North Yorkshire – Cave Rescue )〕 Other nearby caves which also connect to the West Kingsdale System include Swinsto Hole, Rowten Pot, Jingling Pot, Aquamole Pot and Valley Entrance. == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simpson Pot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
