passage leads off from the bottom, splitting in two going round a horizontal thread, emerging in a chamber formed from a slightly hading line af weakness, a ledge can be followed on the right hand wall. Down a hole to the left, two uninspiring rifts [<A href="qm.shtml#C2002-204-02" name=qC2002-204-02>

Up to the right <A href="qm.shtml#C2002-204-04" name=qC2002-204-04>C2002-204-04 C</a>], an aven is visible which may be climbable . Continuing on past a large boulder, a rift is intesected at a chamber, up stream a small trickle of water emerges, from a small slot in the ceiling, downstream can be acessed via a small hole in the floor, which can be descended via a backup round the large boulder, a flake in the floor and a rope protector, this is called Tape Worm pitch; this rebelays of a horizontal thread down to a ledge with large fossils
visible in the floor, where the small rift of Tape Worm joins the impressive shaft of LXtape pitch. Looking out to the left a parralel shaft can be seen which may be enterable from <A href="qm.shtml#C2002-204-02" name=qC2002-204-02>

descends to land on a rock bridge near another large boulder. On the near side of the rock bridge is a tight and unpromising rift
On the far side, a spit rebelay allows one to descend to another chamber, where a large thread is the main hang for Cellotape pitch, a fine 2m wide rift, which lands a slight puddle, and a horizontal silt floor leads 5m to the next undescended pitch [<A
Pretty bits comes of Swings and Roundabouts, passing a pit on the right, which can be climbeed over to a crawl, which emerges in the main passage. Down the pit is a tight rift pitch [<A href="qm.shtml#C2001-204-98" name=qC2001-204-98>C2001-204-98 C</A>]. Continuing along the passage past the pit, a number of windows are visible overlooking <B>Magic Roundabout chamber</B>. A passage goes of to the right which passes a number of stalactites, before intersecting a rift. A grotto of stalactites is visible to the left, with possible continuing passage beyond[<A href="qm.shtml#C2001-204-49" name=qC2001-204-49>C2001-204-49 C</A>]. The rift has not been descended[<A href="qm.shtml#C2001-204-47" name=qC2001-204-47>C2001-204-47 B</A>], although a light connection has been made to <B>Juicy Bits</B>.
Juicy bits is a large passage to the left from south end of <B>Swings Passage</B>. After 10m in a large passage descends at a 30 degree slope down, which can be traversed around. At the bottom there is a climb down over bolders[<A href="qm.shtml#C2001-204-45" name=qC2001-204-45>C2001-204-45 C</A>]. This passage can be traversed around, and a passage to the right decreases in size to a body sized tube that needs removing[<A href="qm.shtml#C2001-204-48" name=qC2001-204-48>C2000-204-48 C</A>]. The main passage then splits in two, the right turn going to the rift that connects to <B>Dutch Beauty</B> [<A href="qm.shtml#C2001-204-47">C2001-204-47 B</A>]. To the left a smaller passage doubles back on itself, past a small window to the rift. Now going uphill the passage turns a sharp right and flatterns out and passes a tube going into the ceiling[<A href="qm.shtml#C2001-204-46" name=qC2001-204-46>C2001-204-46 C</A>] , before emerging in to the passage near <B>Magic Roundabout Chamber</B>

<img class=onright src="rigging/mgr.png" alt="D Merry Go Round Rigging Guide">
<p> The first pitch of Merry Go Round is rigged with a backup and Y hang, and the rope lies against the wall for 13m till a rebelay, which allows a clear hang to the floor. The floor is a a slope of loose boulder, heading towards a hole in the floor. It is advisable to stay on the rope whilst traversing this, going over a large wedged boulder leads to the secound pitch, a Y hang, giving a free hang to the floor. At this point the nature of the cave becomes a rift, and the ceiling is still not visible, which starts slightly further upstream than where the ropes hangs down to. In the rain, water comes down the top end of the rift, from the hole in the floor of the chamber above, and the water disappears down a very small rift. 5m from the bottom of the secound pitch, the third pitch starts, with a traverse line, and short drop down to the main Y hang. A couple of deviations, pull the rope away from the wall, below these, it was too wet to continue rigging in the wet. The pitch continues down past a couple of deviations, just above obvious pllllaces where the wall is undercut. The floor of this pitch is jagged boulders, which form a slight slope. The walls have large (10-20cm) Bivalves protruding from them. Up slope a small rift twist round to a chamber, linked by a window to the main shaft. Down slope leads to a narrow rift, which has a very small slot in the floor. At the end of this, a natural thread in the roof (all the rock is like cottage cheese), which allows a vertical squeeze to be rigged. The squeeze is not too bad, and has a convient ledge below to stand on. Just below the squeeze a rope protector is usefull, for the remaining few meters of descent into a rift type chamber. The way on continues via the fifth pitch, from a Y-hang, descending down more rift, before the chamber becomes more shaft like, and a deviation, allows descent to the floor. Going sown stream, the passage become keyhole shaped, with puddles on the ground, the passage turns left, and a crumbly looking rift continues onwards [<A href="qm.shtml#C2002-204-07" name=qC2002-204-07>C2002-204-07 A</A>],
