+<p>Typhon and I went for a walk
 to find and assess the new bivi cave which Anthony found earlier this expo. 
 We walked via Fischgesicht (FGH) and Homecoming (HC) and spent some time cairning the 
 path from FGH to HC. It needs reflectors to be added to the cairns soon.
 <p>
 It takes ~30 minutes to walk to FGH and then another ~30 to get to HC.
 From HC, walk northeast past the rope and through a break in the bunde.

+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 
+expofiles/photos/2018/PhilipWithnall.

+[] 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.
