It drops into ;"Living the Dream", a series of phreatic tunnels. To the north is ;ongoing unexplored, with a phreatic ramp heading up east parallel ;to Octopussy [QM1-A] and a possible choke to the NW [QM2-C]. To the ;south, Living the Dream is initially 10m diameter and reaches a ;crossroads after 30m. The main passage heads east up a ramp to a ;horizontal dry cracked mud-floored passage. This ends at a junction ;with a climb down and ramp east to the head of a 20-30m pitch [QM4-A] ;or a climb up a steep gully to the west which leads to a ;potential 25m traverse over a pitch (rope required) to a continuing ;rift [QM7-B] and a hole down [QM6-C]. Rocks thrown down this hole ;are heard in a small hole at the foot of the climb [QM5-C]. ; ;Back at the crossroads 30m south of the junction between Octopussy ;and Living the Dream, a dry sand floored passage meander south for ;50m past several passages to the east (the first connects in a ;loop, the second is unexplored but unpromising [QM12-C] and the ;third appears too tight). At the southern end of the passage ends ;in a 32m pitch [QM8-A], "Psychospeleogenesis" in a rift heading ;east-west. ; ;The third passage from the crossroads heads initially west with an ;unexplored passage heading off SW downhill [QM3-B] and the main ;passage meandering in a generally northerly direction. The passage ;is generally horizontal with two dry U-bends according to the angle ;of dip. Two passages head off to the east, probably connecting [QM9-C]. ;After a short crawl, the passage continues northwards, ;walking sized [QM11-A]. There is a tight inlet crawl to the right [QM10-C]. *end livingthedream
