Two routes lead to same point around pillar in middle of junction. Muddy and slippery phreatic passage leading upwards till junction reached. Small passage off to the left continues for approx 20m before ending. Lower passage straight on leads to rift and is too tight to proceed. C4 on right leads to higher level in same rift, rope required to drop down into rift, QMA. *end covidcorner
