Happy Eid! JC had already explored one short cave by the time EP and MC surfaced – it had been a noisy night with locals setting fire to trees, revving engines and cows tramping around us! We split up and had an explore down the valley. EP & MC found some rock shelters and shallow caves but scored some Eid cake, whilst JC became entangled in some ultra-strong spider web and carefully brought the spider to show us!
We then headed to Massah to try and find the 475m resurgence cave. This was eventually located with the help of locals and was found to be a major water supply. Given this, we decided that it was better not to explore this already surveyed cave.
In the afternoon we headed to the coastal town of Susa to find Ain Susa, a cave about 6km west of Susa. Unfortunately, we spent a couple of hours scrambling up and down on the wrong wadi! The owners of the allotment, two brothers, where we had parked had arrived and put Hussein straight. They were very hospitable and we shared their Eid meal with them, EP sharing a Christmas cake and they let us sleep on their land.
