Avencó de la Casualitat

Petit avenc a Castellet i la Gornal.

Castellet i la Gornal • Alt Penedès6m2m

Small pit in Castellet i la Gornal, located and surveyed in April 2018 by Jordi Navarro and Montse Mañosa (Centre Excursionista Castellar).

Characteristics

Location

Above Km. 5 of the BV-2116 road that links the urban centres of Castellet i la Gornal and Clariana, we will take the descending track towards the Font d'Horta and Cal Bladet for about 180m, until reaching the Font d'Horta bridge where we will leave the vehicle and continue on foot along the path that starts on the other side of the bridge and heads towards the Font d'Horta.

We will go up the Torrent de Font d'Horta for about 600m along the marked path; about 50m before the Font d'Horta, which remains to the right of the path, we take a very discreet track on the left of the path, which goes back over the path already covered at a higher level; we will follow it for 120m, at which point we will leave it to go up to the right, now without a path, a drop of approximately 20m.

Taking the Esquerda del Sostre de Llastra as a reference, the cavity is about 10m to the SW, at the upper part of a small rise.

Description

Morphology

The cavity begins at an entrance at ground level in a slope 1.3x0.33m high; after a small rise one reaches a small chamber at a level lower than the access slope.

Progression

We will find the continuation of the cavity towards the north of the lower chamber, where a narrow corridor leads us to the end of the cavity, where an impenetrable fissure descending prevents progression.

History

In April 2018 Jordi Navarro and Montse Mañosa (Centre Excursionista Castellar) located it and made the survey.
