A kind of sink of 4 m long and 1 m wide (sorry!) is somehow associated with a balancing bloc [sic!] hanging in the middel [sic!] of a 4 m pitch who [sic!] arrived in a galery [sic! qua: cave gallery] 3 m wide and 1.4 m high … continuing [in an unidentified direction] in 20 cm water (Bartholeyns, J P 2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Lamyliang 2 [deleted: and 3]). SITUATION 2010a: The locations of the three cave entrances of Krem Lamyliang 2&3 and Krem Lamyliang 1 are indicated at two distinct spots on the surface about halfway between the explored parts of the lower reaches of Krem –>Mankrem and the orographically left (locally west) bank of the Kopili River (Arbenz, T 2010.03.31 cave distribution map: Pala_Ridge_4-10.pdf). The recorded GPS readings suggest that the GPS position for the cave entrance to the so-called Krem Lamyliang 2 lies about 152.80 m in a direct line approximately ENE (21.69 m north, 151.25 m east) from the GPS position for the cave entrance to the first (1st) Krem Lamyliang. STUATION 2010b: At the bottom of [an unidentified] the valley with an unidentified name, the cave entrances to Krem Lamyliang 2 and Krem Lamyliang 3 were understood to lie in an unidentified spatial relation to each other in the middel [sic!] of the bush at ±50 m write side [deleted: of our] from a path [note 1] going down from the top of the ridge to the bottom of the valley (Bartholeyns, J P 2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Lamyliang 2 [deleted: and 3]). SITUATION 2012: KL2 was GPS’d at N25 26 14.7 / E92 35 48.5 with +-19 m accuracy [sic! qua: precision] (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Mss: Diary 2012.doc). SITUATION 2013: In the bottom of a relatively large doline with an unidentified shape and with unspecified dimensions, which lies half way down the east flank (Kopili side) of a spur off north from the village of Kseh (modified after Arbenz, T 2013.11.24 Mss: Krem Lamyliang 2&3). SPATIAL RELATION 2012, obviously only estimated (note 2): KL3 is 30 m and 60deg from KL4. KL2 is 20 m and 9deg from KL3. KL5 is 15 m and 70deg from KL2. KL6 is 15 m and 110deg from KL2 (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Diary 2012.doc). SPATIAL RELATION 2013: One or the other of the two cave entrances to Krem Lamyliang2 or Krem Lamyliang 3 is 180 m west of the cave entrance to Krem Lamyliang 1 (modified after Arbenz, T 2013.11.24 Mss: Krem Lamyliang 2&3). POSITION 2010: (±17 m) N25°26'14.8”: E092°35'48.2” / N25.437444°: E92.596722° (unidentified geodetic datum 18.02.10 (sic!) perhaps WGS84, Sandford E 2010.02.18 GPS Garmin 12) or 9.0 m in a direct line WNW from the 2012 position (below). POSITION 2012: (±19 m) N25°26'14.7”: E092°35'48.5” / N25.437417°: E92.596806° (unidentified geodetic datum possibly WGS84, anonymous recorder Cooke, D 2012.02 in: anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Diary 2012.doc) or 9.0 m in a direct line ESE from the 2010 position (above). CAVE DESCRIPTION 2010, literally quoted: A kind of sink of 4 m long and 1 m wide A balancing bloc hanging in the midde of a 4 m pitch who arrived in a galery 3 m wide and 1.4 m high. The galery is continuing in 20 cm water (Bartholeyns, J P 2010.02.18 Mss: Krem Lamyliang 2 [deleted: and 3]).deg from KL3. KL5 is 15 m and 70deg from KL2. KL6 is 15 m and 110deg from KL2 (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Diary 2012.doc). SPATIAL RELATION 2013: One or the other of the two cave entrances to Krem Lamyliang2 or Krem Lamyliang 3 is 180 m west of the cave entrance to Krem Lamyliang 1 (modified after Arbenz, T 2013.11.24 Mss: Krem Lamyliang 2&3).

Histoire

EXPLORATION HISTORY: 2010.02.18, trip 1: Pynsheng 'Cause Tallness' Shadap and Morning Star 'Lurshai' Lamurang guided Melquire 'Mel' Laitphlang, Estelle Sandford and Jean-Pierre Bartholeyns to an offhand invented but fully unspecified Sintung / Kopili Area (bullshit) whereupon the latter two cared to avoid mentioning Krem Lamyliang 2 in Anonymous et al. (2010.03.29 Mss: Diary (current) 2010.doc: 18th February). Thomas Arbenz, however, preferred to put the cart before the horse to fashion a tale according to which E.Sandford, M.Laitphlang, JP Bartholeyns located the caves with the help of a local guide (Arbenz, T 2013.11.24 Mss: Krem Lamyliang 2&3). 2012.02.19, trip 2, an exercise in futility: David 'Cookie' Cooke, Ross Davidson, Nicola 'Nicky' Bayley and Richard Hudson alias DC, RD, NB, RH found a way to the cave entrance of Krem Lamyliang 2 where the strong team of four cavers produced 0 (zero) and noticed prospecting (anonymous Brooks, S J 2012.06.23 undated Mss: eghalaya 2012 Survey Summary Kopli.xls). 19th Feb 2012 (Sunday) Krem Lamyliang 2 & 3 - Rich, Nicky, Ross & Cookie … [undertook] some jungle bashing with Richard wielding the machete [note 3], they reached their objective, Krem Lamyliang 2 & 3. The GPS coordinates given from 2010 were accurate but they could find no sign of the 4WD track [note 4]. … Nicky explored Krem Lamyliang 2 (anonymous Arbenz, T et al. 2013.08.07 Diary 2012.doc). 19thFeb 2012: N.Bayley,R.Hudson, R.Davidson and D.Cooke visit the caves while prospecting in the area (Arbenz, T 2013.11.24 Mss: Krem Lamyliang 2&3).
