Description

GS Vulcains - 28/12/2019

The downstream sump was investigated and found to be nearly blocked by silt. The narrow entrance leads to a low dusty passage which continues left into a 5m flat out crawl. To the left is the guano covered slippery slope to Bat Roost Aven where there is a large bat colony. The way on is to the right through Fossil Passage to High Aven and the terminal passage. From the crawl onwards the cave walls are full of fossils.
