Clambering up from the base of University Challenge pitch to the top of +Subsoil Chamber, a sandy passage leads off up steeply. A sandy tube which +soon branches off to the right rapidly closes down. The restricted main +passage ahead swings left then heads down and provides a good pitch bypass +connection into Heavily Soiled passage. Heavily Soiled was originally +accessed via a 5m pitch rigged off naturals just up from the base of +University Challenge pitch. Here, at the north end of Subsoil Chamber, the +passage initially ascends steeply with a rift in the mud-covered floor. It +continues upward, passing a passage leading off to the right [C2004-204-50 A] and quickly +reaches a large boulder in the passage where the sandy pitch bypass described +above joins from the right. Turning left instead of right at the base of the 5m +pitch emerges at the canyon leading to Earthenware. Back in Heavily Soiled, just beyond +the junction of the two routes is a tube on the right, which has not been +explored in 2004, [C2004-204-51 B], nor has another slightly further on [C2004-204-53 B]. The main +passage then levels off and there is a 1.8m climb down a mud bank. At the +bottom a passage leads off to the left [C2004-204-52 C], after which the passage continues up +through large boulders and breakdown. A restricted crawl on the left through +boulders is followed by either an easy squeeze on the left [C2004-204-54 C] or a climb +ahead that opens out onto a large muddy ledge above a mud-floored chamber where +the 2004 survey ends. A 2m climb from the ledge to the floor of the chamber on +the left needs protecting, while ahead from the ledge is an aven and pitch with +the sound of water [C2004-204-55 ?].

On the left, from the southern base of Subsoil Chamber, a 1.8m climb up a mud +bank leads to a mud-floored passage that enters Hippo Hollows. This section of +passage has a series of small, attractive pots floored with cracked mud (CARE - +traverse above the pots). Straight on after the pots, the passage ends in a +rift and Chalk and Cheese pitch. Before this +point, but after the pots, a ramp up on the left leads to a pitch (p.8). At the +base of this pitch a squeeze appears to open out onto a further pitch [C2004-204-X72 ?]. +Traversing over the 8m pitch and up a steep muddy bank leads shortly to the +head of a further pitch which has not yet been descended [C2004-204-58 B]. Shortly +after this first left ramp, a second ramp to the left leads to a position +overlooking the same rift that can be more easily accessed by continuing +straight along the main Hippo Hollows passage. On the right of the main +passage opposite the second ramp there is an aven on the right with sounds of +running water in wet conditions [C2004-204-59 B]. The climb up to the aven would require +bolting. Chalk and Cheese pitch is rigged from bolts in the roof to a +self-lined climb down a narrow rift to enter the Fat Worm Blows A Sparky +area.

Chalk and Cheese pitch enters a moderate-sized chamber. To the right JULIAN +[C2004-204-60 A]. A large +walking passage leads off to the left. From this walking passage, a +ramp soon leads down to the right. This shortly comes to a junction. Down and +straight ahead JULIAN [C2004-204-61 A] [C2004-204-62 B]. To the right the passage squeezes past +unusual white plastic-like formations (Little +White Clouds) to a small chamber. The left of this chamber opens out +over a pitch [C2004-204-63 +A]. Straight ahead from the chamber the passage continues. JULIAN.

+ +

The main walking passage soon reaches Good Dead Bat +Chamber with a freshly deceased bat marked by conservation tape by the +prominent central boulder. Low on the left of this chamber, Thin Rift passage +goes down steeply in tight rift. A handline was needed to continue down at the +limit of surveying in 2004 [C2004-204-X73 A]. Several passages lead down on the +right from Good Dead Bat Chamber: all interconnect in a maze of small walking +and crawling tubes. An alcove in one tube is conservation-taped off to protect +the hundreds of bat bones; many other bat bones are found at lower +concentrations throughout Subsoil, possibly washed out of the mud deposits. In +another tube is an unexplored passage [C2004-204-64 C]. Continuing ahead beyond Good Dead Bat +Chamber, a free-climb steeply up on the left leads to a point around 4m below a +large tube which would require bolting to access [C2004-204-65 B]. Straight +ahead leads steeply down large boulders to a small chamber and a wet +aven [C2004-204-66 +C].

+ +

From the foot of University Challenge pitch, +descending around 10m south down the chamber, there is a very large boulder on +the right with two spits in the roof to rig a 3m pitch (free-climbable with +care) to a steeply descending canyon. Following down the canyon, shortly an +opening on the right links to the start of Heavily +Soiled passage. At the base of the canyon the passage continues as fairly +tight rift guarded by poised rocks [C2004-204-22 A]. Between these points, a high mud +bank on the left opens into the short section of phreatic passage which +continues further south as Hippo Hollows, passing a high tube in the right-hand +wall [C2004-204-20 X]. + The main way on is opposite this high mud bank. Here, on the right near +the bottom of the canyon, a short traverse (two spits and a natural EARL? and a 12m rope) over a large, loose mud +bank gains access up to a large walking passage, Earthenware. This drafts out +strongly and continues north, horizontally, for 100m. Earthenware initially +passes some stalactites, opposite which there is a passage on the left [C2004-204-23 C]; then the +phreatic development extends to slope up on the right side. A wet pitch in a +trench can be stepped over [C2004-204-26 B] and a hole on the left of the passage +may join to this pitch [C2004-204-24 A]. There is a further possible pitch on +the left [C2004-204-25 +B].

+ +

A little beyond this is a junction, where a passage leads off to the left [C2004-204-27 A], while +a muddy slope on the right leads to a muddy tube that goes steeply up to a +boulder choke. A second, less obvious tube leads up on the right just before +this first tube. This second tube climbs up very steeply and continues beyond +the end of the 2004 survey though some aid may be needed to complete the climb +up [C2004-204-28 A]. +These two tubes are the Chimney. The main +passage of Earthenware continues up a slope over mud floor formations and +boulders to an obvious junction. The draft comes from the continuation of +Earthenware straight ahead. The larger passage on the left is Stoneware. Stoneware leads steeply down and narrows from +large walking passage to twisting vadose passage with a clean-washed rock floor +with loose, sharp rocks balanced on it. This continues for around 50m to a +chamber. Here there is a drop through loose mud [XXX unnumbered QM B] and a +roof tube [C2004-204-29 +X]. Continuing on, past another roof tube [C2004-204-30 X], the passage terminates at a drippy aven +[C2004-204-32 X]. +[Editor's note: I'm rather puzzled by this as the QM grades assigned on the +survey don't match the description. Somewhere along here there is another one +[C2004-204-31 +C].]

+ +

Earthenware continues smaller and soon reaches a further +junction. To the right leads up to Underware, and +the left leads to Hardware. Straight ahead +continues past a passage on the left [C2004-204-41 ?] to arrive shortly at a further junction. +Here a second right also links to Underware but this route is +conservation-taped to prevent access to avoid damage to the fine calcite on the +walls; while to the left is unexplored [C2004-204-42 ?]. JULIAN, I can't remember what happened +here at this junction - more QM's ahead at least I think? + + +

Hardware is initially small but strongly +drafting and twists along and soon reaches a junction. Ahead on the left down a +ramp has not been surveyed in 2004 [C2004-204-33 A]. Just beyond this ramp, a muddy passage +leads up on the right [C2004-204-34 A]. Continuing straight ahead, the main +passage soon opens up into very large phreatic passage with large boulders on the floor. Soon there are openings on both +left [C2004-204-35 A] and +right [C2004-204-36 A], +and further along is another crossroads (left [C2004-204-37 A], right [C2004-204-38 B]). This large passage soon closes down +again and slopes steeply up in a large boulder pile. The 2004 survey ended at +the top of the boulder slope. A deep pitch descends on the left [C2004-204-39 B] and there is +a possible continuation up on the right of the slope through boulders [C2004-204-40 B]. + +

Underware

+ +

The two passages up on the right of Earthenware both enter a very large, +horizontal phreatic passage, Underware. This continues both left (north) and right (south). + +

From the entry points from Earthenware, Underware continues to the left for +around 50m north, to end in a huge boulder +choke and roof collapse. A small drafting passage off to the right at the +start of this collapse zone is the start of Earthenware +III. This passage leads steeply up to a pitch head [C2004-204-43 C]. Beyond this +pitch, to the left, the passage continues to a small chamber. MARTIN Becka +claims there were no ways on here but there are three marked in your survey +notes [C2004-204-44 B] +[C2004-204-45 X] [C2004-204-46 C]. There +is alleged to be at least one passage leading off from the left of Underware by +the collapse zone [XXX unnumbered QMs if they exist].

+ +

Underware continues right as large passage to the south, passing a small +passage to the left[C2004-204-47 C], before closing down in a boulder slope. +Just before it closes down a large passage leads off up to the left. This +climbs up steeply past a huge boulder mid-passage then narrows as it reaches a +small mud chamber. Under a boulder on the left of this chamber the passage +turns right and closes down. The main way on is a drafting thin rift on the left that +soon opens out into the bottom of a large sloping passage. This mud-floored +ramp climbs up very steeply and in 2004 the survey ended at the point at which +protection was needed to continue the ascent [C2004-204-49 A]. A second passage leads off on the +right where the thin rift enters this steep ramp. This second passage again +climbs up steeply and appeared to reach an aven [C2004-204-48 X].

Checked in Becka's description of the Subsoil level in 204. QMs in this, +the survey, and the original descriptions have been correlated as far as +possible (which is most of it except Stoneware and Earthenware III, and parts +of Fat Worm where there isn't any data to correlate).
