Description

Martin Ellis - 19/06/2019

The top entrance leads to a large passage mainly filled with sand and boulders as far as a low stoop with a strong draught. The same place can be reached from the lower entrance by climbing up a 10m alluvial bank. The low stoop leads into 400m of very big walking passage to a T junction. The passage closes down in both directions with the draught probably coming down big avens in the roof. Two side passages and a high level, off the main passage, all end rapidly.
