Loser Plateau - Surface wandering on Hinter
Wookey
Went up to col to survey 96-02,03,04 to Hinter.
Fixed VD1 en route & 161a (VD1 alt: 1774, 161a alt: 1795)
Moved 161a tag from rigging bolt to P161a (red spot above painted number).
Then walked up ridge to 'PLUS', a plus-marked cave found on '96 walk (Wook, Wads, JulianT. Tagged as '2000-02'.
GPSed as '2000-02', alt 1803m, fom 5.4.
Then on to 96-04. Gave Andy GPS and let him find cave with it - he walked right to it - so it can work, even with pre-2000 fixes.
Re-GPSed 96-02, 96-03, 96-04
Surveyed from 96-02 -> 96-03 -> 96-04 then towards Hinter. Found one horizontal cave en-route. Tagged as '2000-03'.
Tube about 1.5 x 1.0m which goes for about 25m to a 2nd entrance which is blocked by a rock. Included this on survey, did sketch & continued. Had to stop when it went dark, threaded through bunde off front of Hinter & followed Steinbrücken path back (reflectors are handy). Only missed call-out by 10 mins.
