<p>The Forbidden city is a fine boulder-strewn chamber of fine
|
||||||
|
dimensions, reminiscent of Knossos in Kaninchenhöhle, 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>

|
||||||
|
<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>
