Returned 12th Aug, same team:
Cameron dropped a small pitch in the inlet rift, but only led on to an aven. So I dropped
the rest of the main shaft in a nice 20m free hang. Overall this made a p30, now called
‘Downgrade’ as from 3A leads the day before we now had only 2. The pitch landed at a
confluence of inlets – one we had been in the previous day and the other beneath the
original hading passage (“Champagne a lie”). The outlet was a small rift leading almost
immediately to another pitch. A partial descent was made but no more drill batteries.
T/U: 9hrs
Pete & Cameron returned 13th August, but made little more progress
having forgotten the drill bit...... But it remains ongiong + great
draught.
