@ -132,6 +132,41 @@ the foot of Carry-on up the Khyber</i>. To the left, The Silk Road continues as
left [C2007-204-?? A]. After 60m, a gap between boulders leads into a 30m-wide
chamber, <b><a id="forbidcity">The Forbidden City</a></b>.</p>
<p>The Forbidden city is a fine boulder-strewn chamber of fine
dimensions, reminiscent of Knossos in Kaninchenh&ouml;hle, sloping
upwards to the North west and the exit into the Gobi Desert. Near the
lowest point, (below and to the right of the Carry-on up the Khyber
entrance) is a rocky crawl which leads into a wide but choked space
below the Carry-on up the Khyber passage. There is at least an aural
connection up to that passage. In the Southern corner of The Forbidden
City is [C2007-204-?? X].</p>
<h3><a id="gobidesert">The Gobi Desert</a></h3>
<p>A large (8m wide) bouldery passage leads off from the upper end of The Forbidden
City heading steadily uphill and north-north-west. There is one
notable climb up a large sloping rock which needs a little care. After 90m a passage leads off
to the right ("Silkworm"), and then the passage drops to being a crawl
to reach a complex T-junction after 110m. To the
left is <a id="entertheflagon">Enter the Flagon</a>. To the right a
rocky passage carrying a strong draught leads downhill and south to join up with
Silkworm after 20m at a 90left corner. This</p>
<p>Beyond here the passage is full of unusally fine light-coloured
sand, from which the area gets its Gobiu Desert name. It is
comfortable but not particularly large, with some crawling and
stooping where the sand fills much of the passage. [C2007-204-?? C]
and [C2007-204-?? B] are along here.</p>
<p>After 70m an aven 20m+ high is reached where water can be heard at
the end of the rift [C2007-204-?? C]. The strong breeze continues down
the passage ("Crouching Tiger") which now gets rather smaller being
stooping and crawling all the way. It winds for 90m to a short 2m drop
into a small chamber where there is a 4-way junction. A crawl leads off
uphill to the left (East) with a strong outward draught[C2007-204-??
A]. A keyhole passage comes in from the South [C2007-204-??
A], up which most (all?) of the draught goes. And a low passage heads down to
the West [C2007-204-?? B]. </p>
