the start of the passage a narrow canyon leads up on the R and then
heads steeply down towards the sound of a waterfall. This ends in a

The main passage up a c8 with a handline
The main passage goes up a c8 with a handline
which is immediately followed by a p12
down. Continuing east soon reaches a three-way junction at PT21, in a confusing, mazy area. The usual route is to go right to a second
junction, where right again leads the the top of a p5 down. <i>Just before PT21 a tube high on the right leads to a passage which emerges above and opposite the p5 after a few metres of crawling.</i>
<p><i>At PT21 if you instead turned left at the junction then keep left at a second junction (right here loops you back to the bottom of the p5 described earlier; this route thus bypasses the p5 but it is not recommended as falling into the static sump would likely be
fatal) you reach a
steeply descending phreas with a squeeze to a steep sided static
sump. A 12m traverse line over the static sump leads to a phreatic tube that pops out at the basin of <b>Heifer</b>. From here, a p5 climb up then a p7 up takes you into a rift. Beneath (behind?) is the <b>Great Heifer</b>, a now superfluous bolt climb. (The following section does not fit with the survey - is it describing the superceded bolt climb? "This is a very awkward traverse to climb into. This traverse then continues for 20m"). There is then a deviated p15 that drops you into the <b>Cow Trough</b>, a large, static sump. Traverse over this sump to a small rift that continues for about 20 meters. To the right is a QMC bolt climb into a rift. This is not marked on the survey.The passage continues as a low, difficult traverse over a pool. This can be drained slightly by digging. The passage opens up on the other side to a tall rift which continues to <b>Cowlick Aven</b>. This is a large aven with some pheatic leads going onwards and a large aven in the roof that discharges bunde. A large passage goes upwards to the right requiring a bolt climb to enter.</i> </p>

<p>From the bottom of the p5 that follows PT21, the passage develops a trench in the floor and soon leads to an obvious T junction at PT22. This has a large pitch in the floor, <b> Simple Pleasures</b><i>. (To the

<p>From the bottom of the p5 that follows soon after PT21, the passage develops a deep trench in the floor so a traverse line is needed and soon leads to an obvious T junction at PT22. <i>To the R at the T junction at PT22 leads to a splashy aven and the head of an immature canyon, a QM ?2019-3C_which is probably not_worth_the_misery, this could lead to the QMC in <b>Simple Pleasures</b>). The pitch in the floor at PT22, <b>Simple Pleasures</b>, drops into a small chamber which leads quickly into a larger chamber, <b>Cupids Cavern</b>. This has a streamway rift in the floor entering from the right (QMC, possibly coming from the QM ?2019-3C above. Straight across <b>Cupids Cavern</b> another short section of rift leads into a small aven chamber with water entering on the left. A short traverse to the right leads to a phreatic keyhole passage, with the easiest going at roof level in the phreas. This ends at a very promising QMA. </i></p>
<p>To the L at the PT22 junction continue on the roped traverse which leads to a crawling
sized phreatic tube that soon arrives at a p4 with a tiny wet inlet
in the roof at the head of the pitch. Below, the phreas continues as
in the roof at the head of the pitch. Below the p4 the phreas continues as
a crawl until a canyon develops in the floor which, after a couple of
short climbs, arrives at the top of <b>Strained by Gravity </b>(p75)</p>
