Description
An unspecified cave entrance (unidentified shape, unidentified dimensions, unidentified orientation, unidentified characteristics) is said to give access to the second of two caves forming a disjunct cave system, in which both sections on opposing sides of an unspecified the canyon have been interpreted as approx. 4-5 m long, meer [mere?] solutional features in the dry river bed (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary). ETYMOLOGY: No autochthonous, indigenous or locally known name has been identified for what a party of decent gentlemen dubbed Granny Cave (note 1) to enjoy keeping an eye on the –>Fanny Cave opposite across. SITUATION: In a good looking the gorge which lies relatively close to known caves in the Lymoh Canyon and not only in an unidentified direction 20 m downstream of N 25 24 20.4, E 92 35 39.1 but also on opposing [sic! qua: opposite] sides of the canyon (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary). The cave entrane itself lies on what had been on Tuesday, 5th February 2013, sombody's own righthand (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary). APPROACH: … walk up the track and take a Sumo to near the 4 km mile mark on the road and proceed to the limestone margin. Head east along the 870 m contour until reaching a developed surface stream feature running down the hill. Follow this down through dense, spiky undergrowth, for some way. At near 820 m altitude the rock became limestone, and at 800 m the stream became more steeply sided. Two cave were noted (20 m downstream of N 25 24 20.4, E 92 35 39.1), which were on opposing sides of the canyon, righthand first (Fanny Cave) and lefthand a further 10 m downstream (Granny Cave) (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary). CAVE DESCRIPTION: An estimated 4 m or 5 m long and rather a mere than a meer solutional feature in the dry river bed (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013Diary).e itself lies on what had been on Tuesday, 5th February 2013, sombody's own righthand (anonymous Arbenz, T 2013.08.07 Mss: Meghalaya Expedition 2013 Diary).
