Description
Morphology
It forms two pits 5 metres deep that lead to the same L-shaped level. At the end of this level it emerges, planing, back to the outside, passing under a bridge of rocks. The forat dels Despistats is an interesting torrent bed excavated along two joints N40 and N120, producing a curious diversion of the waters coming from the torrent.
Hydrology
Inside, taking advantage of the fact that in the rainy season the water must flow through the interior, there is a wild boar wallow.
History
An interesting cavity that was noted by Salvador Vives in the CET Archive of 1972. They found this hole by chance after three Sundays following channels and little channels full of brambles and filth, looking for the avenc de Rosseguers, about which they had bibliographic references from 1935. Since 1971 no one had taken an interest in the cavity, and it remained 40 years in the most complete oblivion. On 23 October 2011, after several failed attempts, Eduard Badiella together with R. Suades and J. Guillemot rediscovered it. In earlier searches Quim Solbas had also taken a very active part; a few years earlier he had rediscovered another cavity that had accumulated more or less the same number of years of oblivion: the Forat del Serrat dels Ginebrers.
