 <h3>Southern Pitstop</h3>
   
-<p><b>Southern Pitstop</b> begins as wide, horizontal, walking passage then, after a pool, it starts to slope steeply down. <i>In 2024 a camp was set up on the left. It was muddy but reasonably comfortable for 4 people or 5 at a squash or with hammocks</i>. The walking passage continues to a right turn where it descends more steeply then soon reaches an obvious junction at PT21. <i>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. Traversing over leads to a too tight rift with a draught and the sound of water whilst on the right over the pitch there is a QMB into a continuing rift that heads upwards.</i>. The main way is to go R at the junction continues down to the <b>Safe and Comfortable</b> area. The passage initially descends steeply then enters a complex, open area with multiple interconnected streamways.</p>

-<p>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 <b> Covid Corner </b>, (RIG12-03; <i>is there a rigging guide?)</i>.</p>
+<p>The first R, at PT22, 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 <b> Covid Corner</b>, (RIG12-03; <i>is there a rigging guide?)</i>.At<b> Covid Corner </b> 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 <b> Tampon Turnaround </b>. 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.</p>

-<p>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?.</p>
+<p>Continuing down the main passage from PT22 quickly reaches the 2nd R which is where the water descends <i><b>(tt? Survey not clear - maybe there is a QM here?)</i></b>. Opposite this 2nd R, on the left, a passage soon reaches an undescended p15 which is a QMB. 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?.</p>
   
 <p>Continuing straight ahead beyond this complex area soon reaches a T-junction with a deep slot in the floor at the start of the <b>Lipstick Dipstick</b> 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 (<i>a L partway along leads to PT08)</i>. 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.</p>
