Description

Martin Ellis - 24/03/2020

The cave has a shallow stream and deep mud (and some leeches). It is about 200m to another entrance above a 13m chimney, passing a single dry side passage, with some nice small gours in a couple of places. The stream passge may continue, but the ceiling was getting lower and the mud deeper. This cave is reported by local farmers to be big enough that you can travel an hour inside.
