Notes

Our guide led us to more caves, near the one we had found, it was meant to have a huge pitch in it so we brought all our rope up the hill. However this pitch turned out to be 4m deep and we could rig it from naturals so did not even need the drill. This cave (pakitor) was of modest length and consisted of much breakdown as well as a sizable entrance chamber we surveyed this to be 78m. We also found another cave below this one, which started off as a large entrance but soon closed down into low crawls that choked this one was only 35m long.
