Sand Pit

A sandy crawl (formerly QM 2001-14B) leads to a small passage. This closes off up + to the right; the main way goes past a dead furry bat to a sandy hole which was dug out in 2003. This tube goes up steeply. At the top, straight ahead leads up into small chamber, with a a series of sloping pitches, Pingu, which lead to a more vertical section of about 25m. Beyond this, the pitches continue [C2008 ?? A]. On the left is another rift/pitch which probably links to Pingu [C2003-204-33 B]. The main way from the sandy tube follows the draft to the left, along a crawling tube past a couple of not-bad straws into a small chamber. There is a thin, deep, narrow rift to the right (leading to a small shaft?). Ahead, there is a nasty loose hole to left but the main way is under a low wall + crawl up a ramp on the right side.
