Solo walking in area of 115 entrances [and CUCC-PS01-2018]
+

11:00-18:00 up the hill. +

Found p115x the main "train tunnel" hole. Did a 200+ averaging GPS reading on p115x, Windloch, and cave 88 on the Stoger Weg. +

Carried safety gear from the entrance I found 4 days ago and stashed inside: +

+I also rigged a 2sq.m. poly sheet and black foldable bucket to collect water. +

It took 2 trips and lots of bunde bashing to carry the stuff as I only had a small daysack. +

Route to p115x in old logbooks has been destroyed by 35y of pine growth. +

The new route is: +

+go along Stoger Weg past Windloch (32) and further past the next cave (marked 88 in faded red paint) in LHS of path. +Go [10m] further +from there along Stoger Weg and leave path descending limestone karren down to right. +Proceed back along foot of karren slope and push aside +3-4 branches of bunde to reach a "path".

+Follow along this until you can descend steeply to the left (a few more branches of bunde) to steep "rockery" scramble +bank. Make your way with care down this and you should be able to see a truncated pine tree [4m high] on the +other side of a small gully. (When seen from the other side, this pine tree has branches in the shape of a figure "4".) Descend and traverse round +to the right and climb up to this pine tree across the gully.

+Now follow "path" down and to the right across 2 areas of soil/grass/loose stones to eventually reach a big pine tree +with a bend in the trunk at ground +level and a small cairn on the bend in the trunk. Continue down right through bunde with a little climb until you can +see a large dead twisted tree root across a gully. Descend and get to this via via lush grass and flowers on steep slope and loose soil. +

+At the twisted dead tree root there is an obvious route leading to the right. At this point you are only 13m from p115x but +you can't see it as it faces S. and you are approaching from the N. 10m on you pass a large anthill and then 3m further and you're there.

+You may see a water collection poly sheet a lot earlier but use this route to get to it. (I did it 3x today and lots of other routes are worse.)

-[lots to type in here] - +Oh yes, on first visit to CUCC-PS01-2018 this morning I went in: climbing down a 30 degree straight tunnel. +Roof is solid rock and floor is blocks +and rocks [and relic vadose features]. I counted 1m steps coming out and it's >14m long. +Continues deeper but I was in t-shirt and shorts. Slight cold outwards draft. +
