<h3>Beyond Watershed: Flowstone Canyon and Peculiar Pot to Alpine Showers and on to Paradise Lost</h3>
<p><i>Heading R for ~10m from PT25 at the end of <b>Watershed</b>, descend <b>Peculiar Pot</b> pitch. Here, flattened ground can sleep 3 comfortably and 4 at a squeeze - used in 2024.

<p><i>Heading R for ~10m from PT25 at the end of <b>Watershed</b>, descend a p20, <b>Peculiar Pot</b>. At its base, flattened ground can sleep 3 comfortably and 4 at a squeeze - used in 2024. Continuing down another small pitch leads to a narrow rift that continues to <b>Perverse Passage </b>where a few short pitches allow you to rejoin the main route in <b>Sound of Water</b>. The route to here from Flowstone Canyon is better as less rope is required.</i></p>
<p><b>Flowstone Canyon</b> L at this two way junction is Flowstone canyon,
continuing down a narrow sandy rift - sloping steeply downwards for 100m. R
at two way junction is a QMB at pt2. After 20m at pt4, L is a scrambly rift,
which may require bolting (QMB). Continuing in the sandy rift, nice decoration
of flowstone and stalactites is found on the walls, passing several awkward
and thrutchy downclimbs. All can be freeclimbed but a couple may benefit
from a small handline. <i> A climb up leads to <b> Portcullis Passage </b> a loose sandy passage which follows the top of the canyon before dropping back into it. </i> At the end of the passage a chamber is reached with
a large aven above, PT21. Pitch down enters <b>Sound of Water</b>, traverse to left of
aven leads to a wet rift (QMA)</p>
<p>Going L at the end of <b>Watershed</b> at PT25 enters <b>Flowstone Canyon</b>. This has holes to the left and right but the main route descends steeply down a narrow rift with some fairly awkward, thrutchy down climbs. <i>The holes to the right all join except one QMC which likely just connects to <b>Peculiar Pot</b>. The hole to the left appears to still be an open lead, QMB, in a rift that needs bolting for protection. Beyond these holes, a climb up leads to <b> Portcullis Passage </b>, a loose, sandy passage which follows the top of <b>Flowstone Canyon</b> before dropping back into it.</i></p>
<p>At the end of <b>Flowstone Canyon</b> a 16m pitch drops to the <b>Sound of Water</b> with a large aven above. <i>At the top of this 16m pitch
a short traverse to the left leads to easy, walking passage that ends at a continuing rift with a waterfall (QMA). However, this lead may just drop into nearby <b> Alpine Showers </b>. <i/></p>
<p><b>Sound of Water</b>. Down the 20m pitch from <b>Flowstone canyon</b> The way on is right up the slope to another pitch p27. <b>Peculiar Pot</b> enters from a rift a few metres down this pitch. From the bottom, upstream leads to a waterfall (bolt climbing required) whilst downstream follows a narrow rift to <b> Alpine Showers </b>: two small pitches beside waterfalls leading to a traverse and another pitch. The streamway is rejoined but soon drops away again and the roof of the rift lowers to a traverse and 20m pitch.</p>
