@ -144,21 +144,13 @@ junction on the L that goes to <b>Kitkat Connection</b> - until a high aven
with a flowstone floor is reached. Beyond this aven a short section
of passage leads to a series of holes that may still be QMs after 2024 (2018-10C, 2018-11B, 2018-11A. Continuing SW leads via a 15m drop to a further connection with <b>Hobnob Hallway</b> with several unexplored avens in the connection area.</i></p>
<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 on the canyon and head ‘upstream’ (though there is not always any water flowing). Sideways walking along the canyon soon reaches an
area of boulder collapse <i>(ignoring the unnecessary traverse that was rigged 4m above the canyon as far as the boulder collapse) </i>. Climb under the boulders and then climb up to traverse above the rift below to a junction at PT06 <i>; it is also possible to continue along the bottom of the rift although the passage is narrow </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 have gone to PT06 along the base of the meander you can continue along the meander 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 has not yet been crossed; note that the pool can easily be reached by climbing 5m down from the usual traverse route at PT07</i>. <i>Just before the pool it is
possible to climb up around 5m at PT07 to a higher-level passage
which goes around 10m NE to reach a traverse, <b>Wilfully
Endangering Lives</b>, over a large window into the lower

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

<p>At PT06 the phreatic
tube on the L passes through several stooping sections and a well
decorated canyon with pools in the floor to reach a free climbable
hole in the floor which is the top of the 5m climb at PT07 previously
described. Crossing over <b>Wilfully Endangering Lives </b>reaches
<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, perhaps at PT07, and there may 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 which can also be reached by caving from PT05 at the base of the meander</i>. Traversing over <b>Wilfully Endangering Lives </b>reaches
some jammed boulders about 5m E of PT08 and the passage continues on
as a pleasant but very drafty canyon. (<i>At PT09 at the first corner
there is a climb down on the L into a passage which is presumed to be
