Lower entrance, Clatterway levels

[Becky and Martin]

Has anyone actually got to the lower entrance in the woodland? Got 38m away, according to What3words but couldn't get any closer because of the bramble and steep hillside.

AFAIK the home owner nearby is caver friendly, maybe knock on and get directions while asking permission?

there is a fallen tree pointing the way down the hill from the path (c 100m from the start) - there are no brambles at that point- it leads down under trees to a a little 4ft climb down to the terrace at the top of someones garden. The entrance is the other end of the terrace.
The easiest way to find it is to do the thru trip which doesn't take too too long. Peak CC recently bolted both pitches with fixed hangers.
