A new cave close to the entrance of Niggly Cave has been explored and connected to the bottom streamway in Niggly, adding a whole 4 metres to the depth record at 401m. Niggly Cave is 397m. There seems to be a "type" of caves in the area - grotty grovels between huge pitches; the 195m Black Supergiant in Niggly is an awesome drop - especially on 9mm!
