|
|
|

which is easily bypassed on the right to reach a slippery mud slope up (very

greasy handline - see photo).

continues east as <b>Between the Thighs</b>, to enter the west wall of a

dead-end, <b>Zits</b>, after 25m. To the left, the chamber enlarges and

out with a ramp on the left leading back to the previous chamber near the

north end. Straight on leads to 1st pitch of <a

side of the pitch head leads to a flake. The passage above this is the main

way on, whilst a sling on the flake is the rig point.

<h3><a name="lfolly">Lummatt's Folly</a>
|
|
|
|
|
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Initially described as somewhere to 'throw a couple of legs up' (survey
|
|
|
|
|
legs) this has proved to be the key to two new entrances and nearly 2 km of
|
|
|
|
|
cave found in 1996.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A careful 2m climb over the top of the 1st pitch of Natural City (traverse
|
|
|
|
|
line can be rigged) leads up a short ascending passage to a T-junction. Left
|
|
|
|
|
continues up a mud slope for 5m and ends, with a shelf on the right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="dbatcha">Turning right</a> through <b>Cyclopentyl Arch</b> leads
|
|
|
|
|
along a pleasant walking passage for 15m to a rock wall overlooking a pitch
|
|
|
|
|
into <b>Deadbats Chamber</b>. On the left hand side of this passage is a 2m
|
|
|
|
|
climb leading to <a href="offph.htm#offlfolly">passages</a> which ultimately
|
|
|
|
|
end or drop back into the main way.
|
|
|
|
|

<h3>Deadbats Chamber
|
|
|
|
|
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Following the downward sloping passage to the left of the wall overlooking
|
|
|
|
|
Deadbats Chamber at the end of Lummat's Folly, leads to a 4m drop down a
|
|
|
|
|
rift descending left into the chamber. To the right the rift ascends to an
|
|
|
|
|
aven. However a bold step off a flake (traverse line recommended) allows the
|
|
|
|
|
rift to be crossed. Once over, an easy climb down followed by a stoop
|
|
|
|
|
under one side of a large rock pillar to the left leads to the base of the
|
|
|
|
|
pitch below the wall at the end of Lummat's Folly. (One of the original
|
|
|
|
|
dead bats can be found in an alcove to the left here). The chamber (13m x
|
|
|
|
|
20m) is substantially floored with mud, encrusted with brown calcite.
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="offph.htm#offdbats">Side leads</a> to the east have not all been
|
|
|
|
|
pushed to a conclusion, but the main way on is up the mud slope to the north
|
|
|
|
|
as <b>Batman Series</b>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h3><a name="batmans">Batman Series</a>
|
|
|
|
|
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The slope at the north end of Deadbats Chamber enters a level, sandy
|
|
|
|
|
floored, arched passageway where abundant bat droppings are evident. 15m
|
|
|
|
|
along this the passage opens out and a traverse to the left along a sloping
|
|
|
|
|
mud bank above a <a href="offph.htm#bmspit">large pit</a>, with aven above,
|
|
|
|
|
is required to gain a continuation of the passage north.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><a name="gcjn">walking on down</a> the main passage, past a blind alcove
|
|
|
|
|
on the right, the passage lowers briefly to stooping height and opens out.
|
|
|
|
|
Keeping to the right to avoid a fine mud pool and then left back into
|
|
|
|
|
walking passage is the main way on. Right is just an oxbow with an
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="offph.htm#offgcj">aven</a>. The main passage reaches a major
|
|
|
|
|
junction after 15m, <b>Gotham City Junction</b>, where Puerile Humour
|
|
|
|
|
splits into two major ways on - <a href="phnth.htm#catwoman">Catwoman's
|
|
|
|
|
Claws</a> to the left and the continuing <a href="pheast.htm#gcjn">Batman
|
|
|
|
|
Series</a> to the right.
