On a trip last night my curiosity was again aroused by the lack of the 2nd squeeze and who and why had gone to such efforts to dig it out (I guess about a year ago) and change it's water course. Over the years and the many trips I have done down there, I had always considered the twin squeezes to be an integral and fun part of the trip. I was wondering if anyone knew who had dug it out to such extremes?

would fun. or fool apply to subterranean, wet, extremely chilly, prostrate, gynecalogical type sediment and pointy pebble removal from beneath a breached caver Jon?
Up to the point at which great mirth preceded a calcite rattling bottom burp. ( whilst my extended right arm was beneath your buttocks, and well towards your upper lumber area frantically mining the type of sediments refered to.)
I thought we were having a jolly evening out ( not in a gay way, you'll understand.)
good company, great scrambling and a great mine to see.
But NO!
I, for the first time on this trip let a paper- thin,whippet of a test idiot take the lead at the squeezes/ squeeze
the ignomy of realising one of my all time mentors and it must be said, idol, was like a Pooh bear (post hunny session!)
helpless to extracate his very confident little self forwards,
or backwards
To cut to the chase ,so as to speak / type. the self perpetuation of the upper 'squeeze' is as it should, ( in my singular opinion,) be.
the next bit ; No longer provides a barrier to casual wasteralls and vagabonds, who may do untold damage to some . or many , historic and geological marvels beyond.
on the sixteenth i shall indeed take pwhole's advice.
