Oxtail Oxbow

+The way on, which bypasses bracket fungus passage is up a steep mud slope, +passing a phreatic tube which enters high on the left +[C2003-204-19 C], +which soon reaches a steep mud slope down (bolt and sling for hand line on right +wall). At the bottom of the mud slope, a thin rift leads off straight ahead +[C2003-204-15 B] +and there is a hole in the floor +[C2003-204-71 C] that may +link to this rift. At the bottom of the mud slope the main route around Oxtail +Oxbow continues as a scramble up a steep mud passage on the right. This +passage then leads steeply down a mud slope, past a tight rift in the floor +[C2004-204-67 C] and a +passage to the right going to Beyond-PoohStyx, to join a larger passage. +At this junction, the passage to the right leads to the ledge above +Beyond-PoohStyx pool which traverses along the right wall into Bracket Fungus +passage. Just before this ledge, a passage up to the left goes to a small +chamber with a very steep climb up from it +[C2003-204-24 C]. At +the junction with the main passage, the main route is to the left, up a steep +mud slope to a further junction. At this junction, straight ahead leads to +Terra Firma, and to the right leads to Quiz Rift.

Terra Firma

Black Maria

+Straight ahead is a narrow passage which +opens onto a small chamber, Terra Firma, with mud banks and a blind pit in the +floor. Above the pit, a passage appears to lead off +[C2004-204-18 B] and on +top of the mudbank above the entry-point into chamber another, larger passage +appears to lead off +[C2004-204-17 B]. A small +passage on the left before Terra Firma is reached leads down to a +conservation-taped crystal pool which can also be seen from above from Terra +Firma, across the pool is +[C2004-204-16 C].

Emerging from the short muddy crawl reveals a walking passage. Right leads quickly to a climb up and traverse back over the existing passage, The Generation Game, explored by Becka.

-

Left leads shortly to a bend in the passage and a steep downwards slope floored with crumbly mud; spits are in place for a traverse line, since slipping would mean a long fall. After a few metres is a pitch, Gardener's World (26m), which slopes awkwardly and has been subjected to a variety of rigs, none of them ideal!

+At the junction before Terra Firma, turn right and clamber over large wedged +boulders [CARE - deep, undescended rift below +[C2003-204-25 B], to a +small mud chamber. Duck under the low arch, avoiding contacting the +conservation-taped stalactites, to a further small mud chamber. Crawl down +again under a second low arch, up a mud slope on the right and turn left into +Quiz Rift. To the right a narrow rift goes up to a ledge which is the start of +the Generation Game bolted traverse. This leads over the top of Quiz Rift to +the passage the far side; this appears to have no way on. On the other side of +this ledge are a series of phreatic roof tubes and passage which overlook the +mud slopes and chambers just described. Quiz Rift soon turns right down a +mud slope (traverse line on naturals and one bolt) to the Gardener's World +pitch (p25). This descends via awkward rigging (not perfected in 2004) to a +ledge in a moderately large chamber. From this ledge the University Challenge +pitch (p15) descends to land partway down the large, confusing Subsoil Chamber. -

The landing is on a narrow rubble floor; a few metres ahead the floor drops away again, and another pitch, University Challenge (12m), descends past an interesting hollow boulder to land in the Subsoil Series.
