S38 is my best guess at the side sump in South Passage, from your description, Kev.  I hadn't noticed this one before, but understand it to be more or less where the two cascade pools are. 

 

S40 is the right-hand side passage where the main route turns left, just after the cascade.  It looks like it might be a mud filled passage similar to the sump at S50.  I think it was also full of water the first time I went into South Passage.

 

I've listed all the possible side passages that I am aware of that might be worthy of a dig at some point in the future.  There's quite a few!  I'd like to capture all the old digs back in the old cave too, for completeness, it anyone can let me know what they are all called and where they are?

 

I've listed some of the avens, at least all the ones recorded in the survey notes. 

 

I'm sure there are other possible dig sites and avens, so let me know where they are and I'll mark them on.  Let me know also what text you want recorded - the sort of thing I was thinking was the name of the person and date the dig was started or aven climbed.  In some cases it might be hard to attribute to a single person, but let's see what comes up.

 

On that note, who climbed The Old Curiosity Shop?  Was it Brian, Bill and Peat?

Was it Joel that climbed Zebra Aven, and when was that?   

Tim - when did you climb into that deep pool - is it above Duck-Under-Boss?

Neither, I think it's either S38 or S40.

All,

Find attached the latest output from the UFS survey:  the Upper Flood Continuations map.  This apires to show all digs, continuations and avens (I also have similar now showing all the fixed survey stations).  They are listed by name (referring to the nearest survey station), and there is additional information output in the continations table (txt and html versions attached).  All the information is stored directly in the survey data, against each survey station.  I can print any of the information on the map, but as it is crowded, I've currently chosen only to show the name, which can be used to lookup in the table for the additional details.

 

I know the data is not complete, so please do help me by sending me any additional information you want included.  Let me know what you think or if you have any questions about the project.

 

When complete, I plan to publish in the newsletter, so please do not publish this on Yahoo or elsewhere till then.

 

Regards,
