Going L at the end of Watershed at PT25 enters Flowstone Canyon. 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. The holes to the right all join except one QMC which likely just connects to Peculiar Pot. 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 Portcullis Passage , a loose, sandy passage which follows the top of Flowstone Canyon before dropping back into it.

At the end of Flowstone Canyon a 16m pitch drops to PT25 in the Sound of Water with a large aven above. 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). This lead may just drop into nearby Alpine Showers but it needs to be definitively checked out.

This lead may just drop into nearby Alpine Showers but it needs to be definitively checked out.

At PT25 in the Sound of Water the way on is right up the slope to a broken (16m then 10m) 27m pitch that lands at PT26. Peculiar Pot enters from a rift a few metres down this pitch whilst left at PT25 quickly loops around to overlook Alpine Showers. From the bottom of the pitch at PT26, right (upstream) leads to a waterfall (bolt climbing required). From PT26, turning left (downstream) is Alpine Showers. This follows a talll, narrow, winding rift to two small pitches beside waterfalls (care needed to keep away from water as levels can rise rapidly). This leads 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 then a 20m pitch that drops you down to Paradise Lost.
