<p>Going L at the end of <b>Watershed</b> at PT25 enters <b>Flowstone Canyon</b>. This has holes to the left and right but the main route descends steeply down a narrow rift with some fairly awkward, thrutchy down climbs. <i>The holes to the right all join except one QMC which likely just connects to <b>Peculiar Pot</b>. The hole to the left appears to still be an open lead, QMB, in a rift that needs bolting for protection. Beyond these holes, a climb up leads to <b> Portcullis Passage </b>, a loose, sandy passage which follows the top of <b>Flowstone Canyon</b> before dropping back into it.</i></p>
<p>At the end of <b>Flowstone Canyon</b> a 16m pitch drops to the <b>Sound of Water</b> with a large aven above. <i>At the top of this 16m pitch
a short traverse to the left leads to easy, walking passage that ends at a continuing rift with a waterfall (QMA). However, this lead may just drop into nearby <b> Alpine Showers </b>. <i/></p>
<p>At the end of <b>Flowstone Canyon</b> a 16m pitch drops to PT25 in the <b>Sound of Water</b> with a large aven above. <i>At the top of this 16m pitch a short traverse to the left leads to easy, walking passage that ends at a continuing rift with a waterfall (QMA). This lead may just drop into nearby <b> Alpine Showers </b> but it needs to be definitively checked out. <i/><p/>
<p><b>Sound of Water</b>. Down the 20m pitch from <b>Flowstone canyon</b> The way on is right up the slope to another pitch p27. <b>Peculiar Pot</b> enters from a rift a few metres down this pitch. From the bottom, upstream leads to a waterfall (bolt climbing required) whilst downstream follows a narrow rift to <b> Alpine Showers </b>: two small pitches beside waterfalls leading to a traverse and another pitch. The streamway is rejoined but soon drops away again and the roof of the rift lowers to a traverse and 20m pitch.</p>
<p>At PT25 in the <b>Sound of Water</b> the way on is right up the slope to a broken (16m then 10m) 27m pitch that lands at PT26. <i><b>Peculiar Pot</b> enters from a rift a few metres down this pitch whilst left at PT25 quickly loops around to overlook <b>Alpine Showers</b>. From the bottom of the pitch at PT26, right (upstream) leads to a waterfall (bolt climbing required).</i> From PT26, turning left (downstream) is <b>Alpine Showers</b>. This follows a talll, narrow, winding rift to two small pitches beside waterfalls (care needed to keep away from water as levels can rise rapidly). This leads to a traverse and another pitch. The streamway is rejoined but soon drops away again and the roof of the rift lowers to a traverse and then a 20m pitch that drops you down to <b>Paradise Lost</b>.</p>
At the bottom of the pitch is a perpandicular rift, the way on is down a 4m pitch then right along a traverse. Continue following several small pitches and climbs eventually leading to a ~10m long, draughting duck. Pursuing this lead would require neoprene and enthusiasm for cold misery. </p>
<p> At the bottom of the p20 there is a 4m pitch. <i>Left leads to a QMC which could perhaps bypass the duck.</i> Turning right goes along a traverse that descends several small pitches and down climbs to eventually end at a ~10m long, draughting duck. Pursuing this QMA would require neoprene and enthusiasm for cold misery.</p>
