Description

Martin Ellis - 22/09/2019

An upper entrance is 20m above the stream sink. A steep dirt covered gradient (4m) leads to the top of a 3m drop into the cave entrance. At the bottom of the 3m drop a way down can be found between a series of large boulders or via an 8m steep climb. A tight squeeze drops into a narrow rift. The rift widens and after 12m opens into an aven and the top of a pitch. This 6m pitch lands on a sloping dirt floor.... Exploration stopped at the top of a wet pitch at a depth of 98m
