Chinese whispers! (or is it Gaelic mutterings)
Yes, after a productive week where the flooding issue was resolved, and the engineering tweaked, a big team hauled plenty of spoil out to make sufficient progress for a breakthru..but not into Belh Aven yet (but very close). There's some walking size chambers and good pretties..fuller report in Descent soon. The digging team have some surveying and conservation work to do so please go through them if you want access. There's still plenty of enlargement needed so be prepared to volunteer a days work on the winch if you can too.

I looked at 3-G's too - it has washed out a bit more and clearly acts as an overflow for the main sink (It went from dry to wet while i was there!) Would be interesting to see how much it backs up.
Waiting to see the ANUS survey in relation to stream bed before reinvestigating sphincter area(!!)
