King Pot Middle Sump Bypass

[flashheart]

Had a great trip down King Pot yesterday, but didn't quite get to the bitter end. We located the bypass crawl to the Middle Sump, and after a short muddy crawl came to a chamber with a lovely flowstone formation on the right side. Directly ahead at floor level a low wet crawl of a couple of metres took us into another small chamber with a similar calcite flow on the left. Is the way on down at water level on the right, at the base of the formation? It looked tight with an extremely small airspace, but perhaps at lower water levels it's a bit more tempting?
On the way out we climbed up the first flowstone formation and found some continuing passage, but that seemed to close down also....

Yep under that formation sounds right. It’s a proper duck even in dry weather. Helmet off and on your back.

Thanks s_allshorn. Will wear some neoprene next time!

It's quite a challenge without a hood. Always low airspace, but plenty of room.

I had that confusion too, it was not the water in my way (this was several years ago) and it was too tight, I think gravel (very compacted) needed digging out.
