The initial stage of the trip was navigated quickly and easily by Wookey
- having previously surveyed up to starfish junction and being well-acquainted with the system.
Beyond the junction we relied on a pixelated survey, some detailed notes, and
hand-drawn survey, all of which Wookey had nerded at base camp.
<p>Our journey to March of the Penguins was somewhat "exploratory" as weattempted
tofind the correct passage forward. The trip was halted at an unnamed pitch.
<p>
Unknown to us at the time the journey across the pitch required a traverse. We had mistakenly
rigged the pitch for a descent. Having run out of time we started our return journey with
the hope of returning.
<p>Additionally the trip allowed the team to resurvey 6 legs which may have been
contributing to the survey error in that branch(?).

Having been confused by the pitch that required to be raversed rather than descended,
another (?) consulting other cavers, we returned the next day. The journey into the system was
quickeras the route had now been rehearsed by the group. As the traverse was being re-rigged additional re-surveying was completed.
<p>
After pushing forward it was found that we did not have enough rope to to complete the
pitch down into Icecock (even after de-rigging the traverse line).Unfortunately no cave description
for this route existed, as such, the amount of rope required was unknown.
Future trips should attempt to generate such notes for the interest of future trips.
<p>
Once again wew ran out of time, and this timerope. However the trip still provided
additional survey results with accompanying elevations (sections).
<p>
On the return journey Rory rigged the traverse line with 5 slings hooked one to another
(in the interest of speed), however it was debated if this was in fact quicker.
<p>A future trip would require more rope (greater than a 13m and 22m).
