Description

Martin Ellis - 27/06/2019

The limestone here dips steeply to the south. Two large, 5 m by 5 m, sinks, heavily choked with brushwood and mud occur within 10 m of each other. Both are impenetrable. The water possibly resurges in a spring rumoured to exist on the other side of the ridge to the south, but this was not visited.
