SITUATION 1: Somewhere on the western slope of the Shnongrim ridge below the village of Lumthymme (Lumthymmei) and in an unidentified spatial relation with the other Knee-Wrecker Pots in the same area above [Krem] Liat Prah. SITUATION 2 (Ende 2007.02.11 Mss): Descend ridge just south of ravine (N25°21'58.5”: E092°31'19.0” (±7 m): 1072 m asl). Head into valley to south a 1st sign of bamboo. First are limestone pinnacles, then descend to Knee-Wrecker Pot 4. SITUATION 3 (Brooks, S J et al. 2009.02 Mss -Diary 2009.doc- Sunday 15th): Of the two cave entrances to Knee wrecker 4 and 5, one [lies] under the cliff walls of huge rocks and the other in between the big boulders and bamboo bushes in the slope of the hill, about 200 m down.
