[The Old Ruminator]

Mr O'Doc in the rift passage leading to the first choke. ( now passed ). "Oh dear my camera wont work ". ( Flat battery ). Well I had the flu at the time and only had the TG2 in my pocket so its my poor photos that went in Descent. At least his flashgun worked.

 

[The Old Ruminator]

Me feeling cold and ill in the new chamber in the rift passage. My camera and his flashgun. Nothing has been named up here and its not surveyed. Doubtful if there will be any more visitors to this area now.
