A couple of years ago I and another member of WCG were taking a novice for a trip. The weather had been very wet and the river was really high and thundering past Poachers. We rigged the ladder, dropped down into dyers adit and headed for the drop at the end leading into the main passage. Only we didn't as that area was a swirling mass of water - never seen it like that again and am not sure how it could be like that without backing up the whole cave. We went to Xmas cave instead...

But be prepared in case you cannot get in - or take a snorkel.

Should be ... it's a mine, not a cave ... different mechanics (usually).

You'll find out one way or the other anyway ....  :blink:  :blink:  :blink:
