A relatively small hole by the side of a field leading to nothing [note 1] (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary). SITUATION: At an unspecified location on the way to a so-called Rucha area and, apparently, in a setting associated with the limestone-shales margin roughly 100 m above the valley floor. This proved very difficult and tiresome, fighting constantly with [sic! qua: against] dense, sharp undergrowth and no paths (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary: 7th February). POSITION: The attempt to record an uttermost easiest GPS position for the entrance to this no cave of note resulted in a set of numbers which were didactically simplified to a degree resulting in the valueless assemblage N25 23 18.1, E92 34 16.5 (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary: 7th February).A relatively small hole by the side of a field leading to nothing [note 1] (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary).

Histoire

EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2013.02.07: Robert Eavis, Nicholas 'Nick' Tringham and Adrian Albuica attempted running into exits from the hither world all on their own and … set off for Rucha area … This proved very difficult and tiresome, fighting constantly with [sic! qua: against] dense, sharp undergrowth and no paths … By 2 p.m. and after finding no cave of note … the team gave in and dropped down to the [Um Pyoit?] valley floor to cover the distance easier (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary 7th February).
