hey,
me and two others went into the dynamite series today with the intensions of finding flower pot and possibly exiting through this way. first off we went to flower pot to open the lid and secure a handline to be used if necessary. After a quick trek through the cave we got to the start of the dynamite series and scaled through dynamite chamber. after a quick breather carried on the way forward through a right angled squeezed into a opened rectangular chamber. at the end of the chamber was a duck squeeze in the floor with running boards passing through. this squeeze was abit flooded and the helmets had to come off. at the end of the squeeze was a small opened bowl with the only way on through a little entrance to your left leading into midnight chamber? after another breather we followed on through via the only accessible way to the right of the chamber a hands & knees crawl leading to prospect chamber? so from there we went to the end of the chamber to find only a small crawl entrance at floor level. i pressume this was the entrance to porth crawl?? we decided not to go down and eventually by accident we found the entrance '1st extension, falls chamber.' after an awkward climb we entered the passage (very tight with helmets on!) and eventually came to a rift going towards the left. after a scramble through the rift, duck under a giant stone with a hole in the floor, then over another into a small bowl type opening which we had to climb up through a tight stand-up climb. through this we pressumed to be inside of 'falls chamber.'/ "rift shaped" after a 3-4metre scramble up there were three passages on.
Standing at the entrance (top of the rift);-
at this point two of the five lamps decided to die on us. so we quickly left via the gin entrance safely.
if anybody understands where we were please can you point us in the right direction to flower-pot?!?
has it been filled?!?

Standing at the entrance (top of the rift);-
- one to the left (very tight rift.) did not manage to get that far.
- one to the right a metre or so and straight ahead. this lead either two ways one to the left where blue bucket (barrels) were on the floor but with no entrance. the right one ended after a short time
- and one straight back on ourselves which went on for about 5 metres (giant iron bar on the floor) but lead to what we pressume a fill in. loads of tarmac and rubble piled to the roof and cars could be heard loudly.
at this point two of the five lamps decided to die on us. so we quickly left via the gin entrance safely.
