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. 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 Simple Pleasures). The pitch in the floor at PT22, Simple Pleasures, drops into a small chamber which leads quickly into a larger chamber, Cupids Cavern. This has a streamway rift in the floor entering from the right (QMC, possibly coming from the QM ?2019-3C above. Straight across Cupids Cavern 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.

Simple Pleasures drops into a small chamber, which leads quickly into a larger chamber, Cupids Cavern, which has a streamway rift in the floor entering from the right (QMC, possibly coming from QM_not_worth_the_misery). Straight across the chamber 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 phreatic section. Seems to continue in a ESE direction (QMA). Very promising front.
