Tuta de Can Vinardell

Petit avenc de 12 metres de fondària prop de Beget (Camprodon)

Camprodon • Ripollès20m12m

Small pit 12 metres deep near Beget (Camprodon), explored on 23 June 1969 by members of the ERE of the CEC for biospeleological purposes.

Characteristics

Location

From Beget we will follow the paved track in the direction of Oix; just before crossing the Riera de Beget at the height of the pont d'en Quelet, we will turn left onto the track that runs along the left bank of the Riera de Beget, until we reach Can Vinardell. To reach the cavity it is necessary to climb a bend in the path up to above the farmhouse and go up along the second of two incipient torrents. The small entrance lies on the hydrographic left bank, at the upper edge of a meadow and less than 150 metres from Can Vinardell.

Description

Morphology

Entrance 1x0.50 metres, half covered by grasses and open in the soil of the meadow. This, by means of a shaft 6 metres deep, lands on the upper part of a room 11x3.50 metres. The room slopes down to -12 metres, with a triangular section, where its longest side is bounded by a bedding plane, laid bare by the clastic processes of the materials below. The axis of the cavity is oriented to E10S.

History

On 23 June 1969, members of the ERE of the CEC, accompanied by Joan Carrera, schoolteacher of Beget and aware of the existence of the cavity, explored it for biospeleological purposes.
