CAVE POTENTIAL: Edgeworth (2001.02.09 Mss: Churchill Two) and Tom Chapman narrate how Two small passages head off downstream one above the other, one active, neither pushed beyond 10 m. CAVE CLIMATE: Edgeworth (2001.02.09 Mss: Churchill Two) had the impression of irtually no draught.irtually no draught.
