<p>In 2001 people decided to bivy nearer to the the cave entrances. This
involved putting up tarpaulins in natural shelters, and sleeping on
inflatable lilos. The 40 bivy is in the main 40a Eish&ouml;hle entrance.
It is surprisingly comfortable as this entrance does not have a cold gale
coming out of it, and the floor is very flat. It is luxurious for 2, comfy
for 3 and can sleep 4. Water is collected by putitng a tarp. in a steep
gulley opposite with a hose to a butt in the bivi - very effective.

Tarpaulines were put up to reduce the drips and wind. Water was obtained, from snow of 231, collectecting drips in 231 and a funnel inserted in a grike on the roof of the stone bridge. Two water butts were used for keeping the water in.
