The resolution-station is either '-' to indicate that the QM hasn't ; been checked; or the name of the survey and station which push that QM. If a ; QM doesn't go anywhere, set the resolution-station to be the same as the ; nearest-station. Include any relevant details of how to find or push the QM in ; the textual description. ;Serial number grade(A/B/C/D/X) nearest-station resolution-station description ;QM1 B surveyname.15 - small aven possibly a bolt climb up doesnt look inviting possibly already explored ;QM2 B surveyname.13 - 8.5m drop down possible with hand line climb small drips can be heard no draft audio connection with rift further on ;QM3 B surveyname.27 - side passage with audio and probably person sized connection into main rift and water pool below ;------------ ;Cave description ;(leave commented-out) ;We resurveyed due to shoddy surveying and rigging. We failed to connect into the main system due to events on the trip ;Only one leg will be needed to connect the top in: the survey point can be seen from a descent down radagast ;The legs 40-41,41-46,46-24 down eye of sauron are estimates based on rope length. ; We failed to survey below the side passage off the base of eye of sauron due to a flood pulse ;there is probably 30m descent from our finsih point to the link into the main system ;Welsh enginnering should not be visited in wet weather ; anyone returinng MUST add a rebelay half way down eye of sauron. The single hang is inpractical. ; more free form text ; lots of descrition please. It will be copied and pasted into the Cave data page. *end welsh_engineering
