maggots hole sump in Pridhamsleigh

[mastermiaow]

Hello

I am a fairly novice caver but have come to know and love the muddy hole known as Pridhamsleigh. I would like to know where the sump at the back of Maggot's hole (there is a rope line erected) leads to. I have been told I can go through back to the Lake area or even Crystal Chamber but would like some advice before committing myself

If Maggot's hole is the worm hole in the wall on the left not far before the lake it leads via a crawl which can sump when water levels were high into Mystery Pool Chamber.  From here another (permanent) sump which is free divable leads into a short extension and another sump that has been inconclusively dived. There are two other ways into Mystery Pool chamber - one via 'Flying Angel' Squeeze from where you can look down into a narrow rift with deep water and another high level route from Lake chamber that, as far as I am aware, was first passed by me back in the late 60's - wouldn't fit through it now. The sump extension from Mystery Pool was cleared of an obstructing boulder by Jon Whiteley and Bryan Johnson some years ago - I photographed the process.
