<p>From PT05, drop down 3m (handline from bolts helpful but do not use any further bolts for unnecessary traverse, see below) to the base of the canyon and head upstream (though there is not always any water flowing). Sideways walking along the meandering canyon soon reaches an area of boulder collapse <i>(ignore the unnecessary traverse that used to be rigged 4m above the canyon as far as the boulder collapse)</i>.

At PT06 a phreatic tube on the L comes in at the height you are now traversing, around 8m above the floor of the meander. (<i>If you instead reached PT06 along the base of the meander you can continue along the meander from here by turning sharp right at PT06 and then left, passing a number of pools and sections of crawling to reach a large pool across the entire passage.

This pool (or perhaps sump) has not yet been crossed. Alternatively, this pool can easily be reached by climbing 5m down from the usual <b>Wilfully Endangering Lives</b> traverse route at PT08, see below.

<p>From the end of the <b>Wilfully
Endangering Lives</b> traverse at PT06, enter the phreatic tube. This passes through several stooping sections and a well decorated canyon with pools (traverse rope needed for one pool to ensure dry wellies). It also passes some open leads in the roof and wall including ?2018-9A at PT07, and there may also be a loop here that needs surveying (the whole meander of <b>The Second Coming</b> needs resurveying). This route eventually reaches a hole in the floor at PT08. <i> This is the top of a free-climbable 5m drop down to a deep pool or sump (?2018-8A) which can also be reached by caving from PT05 at the base of the meander</i>. Crossing this hole and, immediately, a second hole (the latter using a strenuous traverse on the left wall) reaches
some jammed boulders about 5m E of PT08. From here the passage continues as a pleasant but very draughty canyon. (<i>At PT09, at the first corner,
