<b>Access:</b> from <a href="182.htm">182</a>, go N up pavement. Just
|
|
|
|
|
over crest turn left along sporadically vegetated ledge below 2m wall (to
|
|
|
|
|
S). After 100m, a large fault is met which contains 183.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A small man-sized hole behind a flake in the obvious fault. Boulder almost
|
|
|
|
|
blocking entrance was pulled clear in 1992. Descend a boulder pile for 5m
|
|
|
|
|
then sloping start to an 8m pitch. Strong draught at this point. A few metres
|
|
|
|
|
of boulder-floored passage lead to another short pitch (5m sloping, then 5m
|
|
|
|
|
vertical). Another very short passage leads to the third pitch of 10m to a
|
|
|
|
|
flat boulder floor followed quickly by the fourth pitch rigged clear of a
|
|
|
|
|
tiny stream by bolts on the roof/far wall. This is again c 10m with a
|
|
|
|
|
deviation half way to land on more boulders. The water quickly sinks in
|
|
|
|
|
these, and a little way forward, a hole opens onto a pitch of 6m rigged from
|
|
|
|
|
a Y-hang. The stream comes down at the east end of this chamber, joined by
|
|
|
|
|
another inlet from the north, and leaves south to another 5m pitch, quickly
|
|
|
|
|
followed by another 5m pitch to a terminal rift.
