After twice getting lost on the moor looking for this pothole, the best method for finding it seem to be...

Walk up from the car park, past the farm and follow the obvious path to the drysone wall. Cross it as soon as possible an follow the wall North and look out for a fenced off area on the left. This is about 50m from the wall and should be easily visable. Walk across to this and Juniper Gulf entrance is about another 50m futher. The entrance is in an obvoius limestone steambed with a waterfall at one end and a long thin crack about 10m long. P-bolts in the streambed is the castcades entrance. The other descent is at the far (South) end after a short traverse.

Don't be tempted to walk away from the wall before you can see the fenced off area as its VERY easy to get lost on the moor for hours. :p
