North End Pot

Is it you working in Lamb Trap? I had a look in there last year, and I was well impressed. It'll be great if it gets through.

I am one of many, others such have Richard have done over 100 trips in there!

Didn't look around much but there is the hole through hanging death in the end choke which looks intriguing. This is mentioned in Beardy's write up. Although how you access it without getting squashed I do not know.

Tirforing out boulders from the safety of the chamber floor was our rough plan. Personally, the disgusting mud in the pig trough was the main disincentive to put it into action! I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on with it...

We're thinking of subcontracting it out . Dr Nobel could play a part but neither that nor a tirfor would help stabilise everything else which is loose and over head. It's a difficult one.

Subcontracting it to somebody expendable presumably 😉

Digging the last few metres to connect Aggy to Daren Cilau would be a start, that will give you a 60+Km cave.

What a fantastic piece of news! A great effort by all concerned! 👍🏻

Thanks for your valiant efforts which have only slight crossover into the realms of insanity. Excited to go and have a look when able.

Just to update people, the new entrance is now called North by North End Pot as the original Earby dig at the other end of the shake hole is called North End Pot and you can't have two things with the same name.
Most of Sam's original exploration ropes have now been removed (or were planned to have been) so the Masongill traverse team probably only got down them by the skin of their teeth.
To repeat others, can people keep away a little while longer whilst things get finished up. The survey needs another trip to tie into the bottom of Llean Bean and I really don't want to be wandering about down there in my own little survey world with people coming in from above. Sam also has stuff to finish off at the top of the aven which is high above the connection point.
