A 10-metre-deep pit in Santa Maria de Besora, explored on 18 September 1977.

Characteristics

Location

From Santa Maria de Besora we will follow the track in the direction of Llaés; at the height of the els Ferrers farmhouse we will turn right and continue along the track in the direction of Castell de Milany. Once past the coll de Sesposelles, we will reach the westernmost part of the Pla de Maranyol, where the fageda de Bombac or del Barretó is located. We will cover about 200 metres from the col, turning left onto a path, and follow it for 50 metres until we reach the mouth of the cavity, covered by two large blocks of almost geometric shape.

Coordinates to be reviewed, these are approximate and without much precision.

Description

Morphology

An irregular mouth measuring 0.7x0.8 metres allows access to a steeply inclined fissure that leads to a strong slope, at the end of which the bottom of the cavity is reached at -10.5 metres depth. Halfway along the access fissure, it opens towards the W, forming a short and narrow gallery.

History

Explored on 18 September 1977, when it was visited and surveyed by a group of cavers who were going independently, who in time would come to join the GE de la PE Guimerà.
