Possibly, but Topaz and Green Crack are next to each other,  Strangler and Tower Face are next to each other, which leaves Tippler as an odd route on its own.

I the light of day...that's actually a perfectly good answer and I would insist on a point if I'd put it.

Pretty sure it did exist - its labelled on the old maps. It was just on the left of the A623 down from the Wanted Inn, 

The hydrology was apparently cocked up when they built that lake by that house on the other side of the road.

I always assumed that the mechanism must be the same as that causes whirlpool rising to ebb and flow.  Some sort of siphoning effect.
