Disappointment Pot
Disappointment Pot is one of the entrances to the Gaping Gill cave system, located in a steep grassy shakehole some south-east of Gaping Gill Main Shaft. Its mainly narrow stream passage descends a number of small shafts to enter the main system as a major inlet of Hensler's Master Cave. It lies within the designated Ingleborough Site of Special Scientific Interest.
