WARNING: Entrance pitch floods dangerously in wet weather - wait at the bottom until it is safe to ascend. A bivvy bag, food and a brew kit should be left at the bottom of the entrance pitch!

The PT01 etc points and the RIG01 etc rigs are noted on the 2019 survey to make it easy to match up the survey to the description. The description could be added to the survey so they can be kept updated together and - more importantly - so they can be used together. Ditto the rigging guides.

Southern Pitstop

Southern Pitstop begins as wide, horizontal walking passage then, after a pool, it starts to slope steeply down. It reaches an obvious junction. (Here, L slopes up a muddy ramp with hundreds of bat bones - care - this should have a path marked with conservation tape. This passage ends at a pitch with the sound of water (QM2018 XC) and a rift continuing above. This rift may just lead to the same pitch, QM2018 XB). R at the junction continues down to the Safe and Comfortable area. The passage initially descends steeply then enters a complex, open area with multiple interconnected streamways.

At this complex area the first R leads up to an aven then goes R and descends a rift. This ends at a small pitch requiring a p4 down then a c4 up to regain ongoing passage, QM2019 A (RIG12-03; is there a rigging guide?). The 2nd R is where the water descends (tt?). A 3rd R is a steep c8 up with a continuing, unpushed climb, QM2018 B?. Opposite this c8 is a L passage which climbs up to an undescended pitch???, QM2018 B?.

At this complex area the first R leads up to an aven then goes R and descends a rift. This ends at a small pitch requiring a p8 down then a p6 up to a sloped area above the rift Covid Corner , (RIG12-03; is there a rigging guide?).

+ + At Covid Corner the easiest way on is to the right where a small recessed area has a tricky and unobvious 4m climb up. Here there is a junction right leads to a passage ending in an undropped p7. Left follows sloping mud banks before the passage turns sharply right and eventually reaching Tampon Turnaround . This is a complex chamber with an interconnected higher and lower section. To the left of the lower section is a short wide crawl downwards which ends in a perpandicular passage. To the left is a QMB crawl. The right passage becomes walking hight and continues, joining first a dry rift then a wet rift which emerges from the left wall (QMB). The passage eventually leads to a junction where both routes on quickly become impassable. + +

The 2nd R is where the water descends (tt?). A 3rd R is a steep c8 up with a continuing, unpushed climb, QM2018 B?. Opposite this c8 is a L passage which climbs up to an undescended pitch???, QM2018 B?.

Continuing straight ahead beyond this complex area soon reaches a T-junction with a deep slot in the floor at the start of the Lipstick Dipstick area. Here, at this deep slot junction, L slopes up steeply with a R quickly connecting back to Lipstick Dipstick at PT08 and straight ahead quickly reaching a T junction with QM2019 leads going both L and R. R at the deep slot junction requires rigging a series of alternating traverses and short drops (RIG12-04 - see rigging guide) to reach a large false floor with deep holes (a L partway along leads to PT08). Here, the survey suggests that two undescended deep holes, QM2019 A, will connect to Inferno pitch in Tunnockschact. There is also a climb above the pitches here, QM2019 C, and a possible continuation beyond the pitch, QM2019 B.
