Notes

Me and Chris went in via the lost marbles entrance, which is an off-beat adventure to say the least. The first pitch, which is only short, is almost impossible to fit through with SRT kit. I eventually made it and from the bottom talked Chris down who was not wearing it. From there some much easier but deeper pitches bring you into the main passage below the second normal pitch. We then descended to the bottom as a team via the intestines.
