;This survey started with Topodroid for 1st two legs, then switched to paper
;as topodroid was just too annoying
;legs 2->1 and 2->3 lost by topodroid and fished out of distoX2 later
;they are in wrong order and reversed in notes (added retrospectively with insufficient checking)
;eventually leg 1->2 found in topodroid but doesn't match moth2 survey well
;so left disconnected from start station.

;Question Mark List
;Serial number   grade(A/B/C/X)  nearest-station  resolution-station  description
;QM1    A    horrorbank.5     -    QMA on the other side of the bridge which is half way down this pitch. Either require large swing out from exciting pitch or a traverse at top of this pitch to make a new pitch to go down far side of the bridge into a hole. 
;QM2    C    horrorbank.10    -    QMC wet crawl at bottom. Looks aqueous.
;QM3    A    horrorbank.5     -    QMB windows/passages at SW end of rift, about 12m down, same level as bridge.

;------------
;Cave description  ;(leave commented-out)

; 10m pitch down from very cold windy passage, landing on boulder
; floor, leads to larger pitch of ~30m rigged from RH wall. Loose walls 
; on initial descent got it the name 'horrorbank' (it was anticipated to 
; be amazing so 'wankbank' was lined up, but then it was all loose and 
; scary (and didn't go romping) so the name was adjusted. Drops into
; 3m x 8m rift pitch aligned NE/SW. Pitch split by saddle about 12m
; down. QMA on far side (later explored as 'moths2'). Holes visible at 
; SW end of rift at same level (QMB).

; The bottom of the pitch is blind, but 4m up at the northern end is a
; nice ledge/window, easily accessible as it's just where the hang
; comes down. This drops into two ~10m pitches down to where a stream
; disappears into a rather sumpy-looking crawl. It can be followed for
; a few m before you'd have to get soaked to progress further. Not 
; _actually_ dead but no-one wants to come here again. There is no wind
; at the bottom of the main pitch or these lower pitches. All the wind
; goes somewhere else.
