Underground
Some years ago I enlarged the crawl where the adit from the back of the Toanwrath Vugga, the sea cave, ends. Once through, I stempled a way up into a cavity above. I tried to dig down at the back to re access the adit which should lead to water fall shaft. However I was defeated by bad air. The adit high right going into the sea cave leads to Toanroath Shaft after about 10 yards.
