5th January 2016: With Tom Chapman and Duncan Price. Tav and the ATLAS team went on tour of the main passages.
The rock engineering applied last week had the required effect and access down through the slot was more comfortable. Before proceeding downwards a stainless steel hanger was inserted for a ladder and duly rigged. At the bottom of the slot I was pleasantly surprised by the continuing passage ahead but entry to this is somewhat constricted. The required engineering was carried out, kit and equipment packed away and we made our way out to meet some of the touring team who had come to see how we were getting on. Completed the task from the main passage and all was good. Made our way out of the cave to get changed and discuss prospects ahead at the Hunter’s Lodge Inn.
