A new bit of peak cavern. Not dug by me, but Toby and Tom (among others on same project) - and a great effort from them

Out of curiosity, is the new 7m phreatic at the same elevation as the big White River and associated high level passages? Would be another awesome round trip...

I think it’s lower down (although when we have finished surveying we will know for sure)

It’s very much trending towards the end of pilkingtons and our current thinking is a it may connect into there, which would make a pretty awesome round trip.
