Last night we did our first visit to Bath Swallet when we did the through trip from Rods Pot ( trip report here).
I managed to dislodge a small rock in the ledge within Showerpot - this rock was only small but it caused a much larger rock (40-50cm diameter) to become unstable - so we gave it a push with one hand and sent it crashing down the rift below the ledge.
Unfortunately the boulder did not reach the bottom and is lodged part way down the rift. We did not examine it (it was late) so
it could still be loose and may get in the way of climbing the rift.
This warning might be unneccessary as the boulder may be firmly lodged.
