Trying out my old Photobucket which seems to be working now though I cant find my latest album.
A quick post flood recce yesterday.
Flood debris at Helectite Corner. Water was 2m deep here.
Ahh. Cant use the upload tab but can use the upload box in the album so still not fixed,
Two taken below the water surface.
Leaf debris on tape in the main streamway.
Leaf half a metre off the clean washed floor at G.P. Junction.
New scour in stream sediments and thin stal.
Further erosion at the gravel bank. The pillar was suspended when the cave was discovered.
More flood debris on the helectites. Happily no damage just a minor clean needed. In all my time caving here I have not seen the flood level this high before.
In many places the floor has been scoured clean and gravel re deposited. Actually beyond Broken Curtain Chamber the main passage has had a good clean up as far as the junction to Glistening Pool Series. Did not go up the branch leading to the chokes. I wonder what has happened up there. Clearly the deluge came in via Withybrook Slocker. The silt traps seem to be working well.
