Description

Martin Ellis - 17/06/2020

After about 100m of mostly narrow passage a side passage at right angles is met and can be followed east to a flowstone blockage and west (upstream) past a low point which was a sump during initial exploration in 1986 to another sump. 50m before the sump a higher level passage continues west for 177m to a blockage. Carbon dioxide levels of 1.8 to 3% were noted in 1986, but in January 1988 was not noticeable.
