Cave
Access
The entrance is in the quarry floor and is capped & gated.
Description
A small cave connected to OFD via sump. The entrance passage leads to a what was a short sump, Helen's Horror, but has been a crawl since modification in 2010. Beyond is a junction with a small stream: upstream, Ping Pong Passage leads to a choke, downstream, via a 13 metre pitch, to a Default Chamber with water entering from a perched sump and following narrow streamway to a sump. Upstream is Sand Sump, which has been passed by siphoning it.
History
First discovered in 1938. Rediscovered and extended by SWCC in 1990 and 1994. DudleyCC reentered the upstream Sand Sump extensions in 2015.
