plateau - Mendip Man & Silver Moth
+We set off to the fishface gear strone on a fine sunny day. I was promised some proper mendip esc horizpntal passages, exactly what I came to expo for. +Kai showed me into mendip man, past the dollop of snow on the rather impressive entrance and set off down boulder and rock rubble, [?] crawling passage. +At a junction we began to survey a descent lead to the right. +I was on disto and kai on book. +The passage was low and surveying was pretty tight. +We surveyed on and the passage gently descened with a few turns and low squeezes and a junction half way on the right. +In the roof loweres and chokes out after about [left blank?] meters. The ceiling is decorated with tiny cloud and plume like blobs of calcite. +After the passage crapped out we pushed back and surveyed the junction to the right, [thce?] just lead round in a loop to earlier in the entrace passage. +Before going left at the first junction, I attepted to dig out a slope while Kai went for a piss. +The dig was fruitless and we proceeded on through a rather rude and grumpy low passage with a sea of offensive rocks oon the floor and pushed into a standing height chamber with boulders in the chamber. +There were 2 leads here. +The first was a small crawling passage, not quite flat out, this choked quickly and was fillled with bat poo and some form of fungus growing upon it. +The other lead was after a climb up through a squeeze. +Beyond the squeeze a 4m rift appeared human sized in width. +It seemed to lead to floor level and we didn't descend, it is still open lead but definitly a D lead and probably goes back to floor level. +We sureyed the rift and called it a day in mendip amn. +Without a good dig it doesn't appear to be going. +

+before heading to top camp, we checked out a hole luke found that needed digging just across from mendip man. +With energy low but the draft exciting we took turns to putt head sized boulders from the entrance until we surveryed through into a sitting height junction. +The route straight on chocked after 11 metres but to the right a strong draft and [?] great echo. +In a series of free climbable steps descending [40 ft? why mix imperial and metric????] to a 4 metre hole. +We decuded to calll the name silver moth as the passage had a lot of moths and took silver from the fact that luke found the hole. +With a great draft draft out of the hole we planned to return with a handline and a lot of psych [?] the rain in 2 days time. +
