Follow this around to the left and Follow this around to the left and aim for some slabs. Once on the slabs
you should see green/white stripes of spray paint which mark the hunter's path.
Follow this north, up the hill, for about 30 minutes until you reach a 1.5m high
obvious boulder near a lone pine tree and the plateau levels off a bit.
Garlic Cave (GC) is in the large depression ~20m in front of you.
A GPS tracklog is available containing our prospecting
route for the day in <a href="/loser/gpx/2018/">/loser/gpx/2018</a> .
A waypoint marking 2018-ad-02 (GC) is in essentials.gpx. 2019-ad-03 is a small hole in the
side of the depression ~10m NW of GC which could potentially be used for storage.
Photos of both have been uploaded to

[] 6m climb up dripping chimney to rift with sump(?). WOuld need 2x2m tarp for water collection.
<p>[] Head height tunnel, sunlight at N. end.
<p>[] Meandering aven, open at N end, chokled with boulders at S.
Dripping 3x6m water tarp (min.) needed for catching water.
<p> [A] Sleeping area? 4m high. Easily accomodates 8with minimal
digging required to flatten floor.
<p>[B] 1.5m high scrot hole. Storage? Or sleeping for 4 troglodytes if dry.
<p>[C] Cooking area or communal area. 6m high. Could do with a
terrace - half a day's work. Space to bolt a stove to the wall.
<p>[D] Drippy end of the cave. Probably best for water collection? Lowest floor.
Aven to N. probably too hard to tarp.for sleeping but should be OK to tarp for
water collection.
<p>Overall, bivi cave is a little smaller thn the stone bridgein floor area but much
roomier in height.
Needs some floor landscaping but not as much as the stone bridge!
Water collection is not a problem even on a sunny day (still dripping)
- leaves some question of how wet the cave gets when it rains and how permeable
thewhole of the roof is. Most of it looks dry but some walls are damp.
<p>Lovely views of the ridge and slabs. Would suit an owner looking to invest
in redecoration. On the market for 3 packs of noodles, a bottle of port
and a jerrycan of water.
<p>Typhon named it Garlic Cave because the entrance smelled of garlic.
