Underground Description
Entrance is an open 15m shaft near the Col-Homecoming path. Entrance is rigged off a natural thread followed by two rebelays. At the bottom the obvious continuation leads to a very loose downwards tube ending at the top of a huge 100m shaft. Descend with caution as it is impossible for others above you to enter the shaft without kicking rocks down. This cave shouldn't be explored unless something is done to protect the pitch head.

INSTRUCTIONS: FIRST read the notes in
pendingcaves.txtNext open 'This survex file' (link above the CaveView panel) to find the date and info. Then
- (0) look in the
cave number index for notes on this cave,
- (1) search in the survex file for the *ref to find a relevant wallet, e.g.
2009#11 and read the notes image files
-
- (2) search in the Expo for that year e.g.
2009 to find a relevant logbook entry, remember that the date may have been recorded incorrectly, so check for trips i.e. logbook entries involving the same people as were listed in the survex file, and you should also check the scanned copy of the logbook (linked from each logbook entry page) just in case a vital trip was not transcribed, then
- click on 'Edit this cave' and copy the information you find in the survex file and the logbookand delete all the text in the 'Notes' section - which is the text you are reading now.
- Only two fields on this form are essential. Documentation of all the fields on 'Edit this cave' form is in
handbook/survey/caveentryfields
- You will also need to create a new entrance from the 'Edit this cave' page. Ignore the existing dummy one, it will evaporate on the next full import.
- When you Submit it will create a new file in expoweb/cave_data/
- Now you can edit the entrance info: click on Edit below for the dummy entrance. and then Submit to save it (if you forget to do this, a dummy entrance will be created for your new cave description).
- Finally, you need to find a nerd to edit the file '
expoweb/cave_data/pending.txt' to remove the line
1623-2024-DM-01 as it is no longer 'pending' but 'done. Well Done.
