<p>Walked up to 204 in the evening to see where it was and say "hi" to Earl + Becka. 204 bivvy is ~45mins from our bivvy, but I don't walk
very fast.</p>

<p>Decided to carry the drill through the Test Tube to bolt stuff in Brave New World. We decided it would be better to carry SRT kits
rather than wearing them too. Carrying tackle made the Test Tube seem much smaller and more arduous... Turned right into BNW, and Olly got
started with putting a traverse round the pitch that had made me scared the previous day. All went well till he dropped his stop onto a
ledge a few meters down. Shortly, the stop was retrieved and the traverse line rigged across, we were a bit cold so decided to postpone
further bolting and to survey leftwards at the next junction. This led to an aven that looked not too hard to climb and a probable passage
heading off at the top. We surveyed back, then I started to bolt down the pitch at the end of the traverse line, the ~15m pitch came down
to a high vadose passage that shortly led to a further pitch down that we had no rope for. Olly put in 2 spits in preparation for a later
trip and we surveyed back out. We still had hours left before our callout, so we went to look at the stream canyon beneath the passage on
from the ptich, assuming it would come out in the same pitch, soon it came out in what seemed to be yet another pitch... we surveyed this,
then left the cave.</p>

<p>Didn't feel like carrying tackle through the Test Tube again, so took survey gear to tick off some leads (hopefully). The first lead we
looked at was the tube on the right around halfway along, near the probable 99 connection. It got progressively narrower, and then there
were some small pristine white stals. We decided that it would be hard to get past them without touching them, so surveyed out. Continued
into Brave New World, and turned left to survey the oxbow passages, these are small and crappy and the 3 passages end up uniting and going
to a pitch in a stream canyon - we surveyed to here and attempted to plumb the pitch. It is ~6m deep. Still had time left so went the
other way along BNW, round the pitch and to the cahmber we started surveying from on the 25th. Looked down the passage on the right, this
gets bigger for a bit raising our hopes of this being the Train Tunnel passage we had been looking for, but it got lower and a crawl led
to a big aven chamber which looked not too hard to climb. From the chamber it was not obvious where we had come from as it all looked
small, so Olly named it "No Ways Chamber" though in fact I found another crawl out near ours that became vadose passage of a reasonable
size to an aven - this is still to be surveyed.</p>
