Far Streamway Pippikin
The lowest tunnel leading out of THE
HOBBIT is the main way on to Far
Streamway. A crawl over calcite passes through a chamber to a three
way junction. To the right a trickle emerges from an aven with a
complex of passages in the roof. This passage may be followed into a
muddy crawl which becomes impassable after a chamber. The way forward
is back to the left into CANYON STREAMWAY 120m of walking to a sump.
This has been dived past a squeeze but ends at a choke at only 4.5m
from base.15m before the sump is a crawl over blocks into an aven
chamber succeed by a larger passage to further avens until it
intersects the FAR STREAMWAY rising from a wet bedding.
The Streamway is large and block strewn for 120m;
the water sinks amongst boulders. Above the final choke is a climb
into a roof chamber, whilst a passage to the left ends in a stal
choke. From the latter passage a crawl ends in a series of rift
climbs.
On
the opposite side from where Far Streamway rises an inlet stream crawl
goes about 10m to a left turn the passage continues for over 100m to a
dug calcite barrier. Beyond this the stream falls down from an 8m aven,
Pit Pot. At the top there is a short section of passage which becomes
too tight.
