Squid Junction to Dusty Junction[edit | edit source]

The passage from Squid Junction to Dusty Junction takes about 15 minutes. Care: sections flood to the roof in wet weather.

From Squid Junction, stooping passage, with a small stream, soon lowers to a crawl. A junction is soon reached with an inlet entering from ahead. The way on is to the right, soon passing a passage to the left. Continuing crawl downstream, with a trickle of water, leads to a short oxbow and then a longer oxbow. Soon after the stream is regained, the Wet Wallow is reached: a low wet crawl with about 15cm of airspace.

Beyond the Wallow, a cross rift is reached, with an aven to the right. The way on is a slither down over a boulder, ahead to the right. The water is lost, but soon another inlet is met, entering ahead on the right. The way on is to crawl ahead to the left. A low section is followed by a brief walk up a slope. This leads to yet more crawling, with some sections of deeper water. After a few minutes, the passage opens out at Dusty Junction.
