Sunday 28th August Hole 164 (Hugh's hole)
Down 2.30pm-ish. A nice hot day so the cave was draughting well (far too cold for my liking!). Some time spent looking for the only part of the cave wall solid enough to put a bolt in! Every bit of wall you touch at the head of the 2nd pitch comes away in your hand. Hugh finally put in enough bolts to reach the solid bit of the cave reasonably safely and descended an approx. 15m pitch to a ledge. From there the following is visible
