Aquamud Sump

Going to try and push Aquamud sump today... there was about an inch of airspace when we checked it yesterday so reckon it is ceiling-suckable.

Bailing would be useful but it seems like there is nowhere next to it to put the water so might take a while, unless anyone knows how the siphon there works (it wasn't working yesterday).

Does anyone know how long Aquamud is, and what the passage is like on the other side... I haven't managed to find anyone that has been through (into Montagu South) before.

The result was that the syphon still works. Takes about an hour of bailing (though this was still low water levels). The other side (Montagu South) is pretty undisturbed due to being so infrequently visited and difficult to get to. Has a lot of very old and broken electron ladders which are not climable (ie. Rungs fall off as soon as pressure put on them). Going back this week for a further explore

Went in there recently, if you look at the ladders funny then just break haha. Quite a fun trip, didn't get a chance to go into the infinite bedding though. Next time I plan to go have a look wherever I can get to. The squeeze at the end sounds fun too! Also worth noting that the siphon can be a bit stop-starty and may need restarting every now and then (at least for us it was)
