Notes

This is a definite area that requires further investigation, as our time was short. There was an absolutely huge cave entrance situated high up in the clift about 30 – 40m high, unfortunately we did not have enough rope to access it. We found lots of other small caves here, finding a total length of 33m, the time includes walking around to these caves.
