With Vurley still having + %5 Co2 we have decided to return to a previously dug site in Reservoir Hole. With Chris Milne returning home as the motorway was closed that just left Peter Glanvill and myself for the first trip. The dig is at Jill's Slither beyond the end of Grand Gallery. It appears to be an abandoned drain heading parallel to The Frozen Deep and with a huge amount of luck it could be heading for the main stream conduit. The survey shows the dig in black as a separate passage but in fact it is a lower part of Jill's Slither so was once a fairly large passage. It definitely has the appearance of a stream cut tube and was once a continuation of The Grand Gallery conduit which formed at a lower phreatic base level than other parts of the cave. Peter took a few pics on the way in as did I with the TG 2.
