Is there a group of you doing these or are you on your own?
Safety in numbers and even safer with someone who knows there way.
You might want to ask if any of the local lads / lasses are going out for a trip, see if you can tag along. 

Safe caving.  :)

Back to Merlins - the second of the three (8m shaft) leads to a rubble slope and a hole at the bottom leading to junction, one route leading to Gimli's Dream and the other to Merlin Streamway and a succession of sumps, a number of which open up in really dry conditions.

Yup, you're in the right place, the rope is a guide line through the free - divable sump, not advised in this weather!, I put that in back in the early '70's. :)
