Notes

Taken into this wonderful cave for the first time by Jim and Mark. Jim explained how horrid his dives were and how this entrance got dug.

The main aim of this trip was to callibrate the disto and then use it down this "open" lead.

Jim seems to have a different meaning to mine of open. Anyway after an hour or so of frantic digging, where I sliced my nose open, we were through. I was all excited as the passage reached stooping height, only for it to close down to flat out crawling again and then too tight. Digging this with my feet netted further progress but it did not seem to be getting much bigger, so we called it a day.

After putting the survey data on it looks to be heading to known cave as an additional sump bypass.
