Tunnocks - Leads in higher level above Sting Theory, So Vein and IntoThinAir

Looking at pitch in so Vein and also at the end of flying high.

First went to drop QMA in so vein, ~13m pitch down to large ledge pocket. Pitch continued down bit we didn't have rope to drop further and would require more bolting. Continuation of pitch was drippy, wet, cold and dropped down in several levels.

Next we went to Flying High - fun passage to cave down to end of pushing front (from 2007). Evidence of people past last survey station :-( - started survey from there. Slightly scary climb passed not totally convincing boulder got us up into a higher level in the passage. This continued as traverse with some boulders wedged in floor. Traverse went out over pitch - after this the floor came up a bit and we climbed down to floor level. Passage continues on at horizontal level. Really good trip.
