<p><b>Altitude:</b> marked entrance 27.3m higher than
<a href="153.htm">153</a>, ie. 1771.m; lower entrance is 8.2m below marked
entrance, ie. 1763m<br>
<b>Position:</b> E 36105, N (52)81974
<p><b>Location:</b> ~60m on 222&deg; from outcrop which is ~100m on 10&deg;
from 153.
<p>From 153, follow gully, keeping slightly left to end (10&deg; magnetic),
climb over ridge to left and continue with next gully into depression. Lower
entrance in bottom of depression, but this is not marked, on over next ridge
to find marked entrance.
<p>Loose pitch head gives onto 5m entrance pitch. A rift leads off but
quickly chokes, while a draughting slot could be dug, but is rather loose and
dangerous, so was left.
<p>This doesn't sound much like the 1985 log book description, which is of a
climb down in a rift below the survey mark into a chamber with daylight
entering in two or three places. There is another way out, though where this
is isn't mentioned, and the cave needed a rope to push further. However, the
1987 sketch does sound like this ! It is not clear whether the 1987 push
addressed the way out needing a rope - perhaps another look would be a
good idea, if a party is working in this area.
<p><b>Survey:</b> Grade 1 plan (no scale) from 1987 Log Book, surface survey
from Bunter's Bulge.
