We decided to go back to Cave 25, now that we knew where it was. We were joined by Jo and Tiggy from the Shepton crew and set off earlier than on Friday! We parked up and set off walking through the jungle. All was going fine until we met a herd of Buffalo on the path. They did not appreciate us being there and looked none too friendly. We retreated up into the jungle and waited for them to pass. We made it to the cave and Emma, Jo and Mike kitted up to explore.

The first 10m pitch was rigged and we followed the small waterfall into the cave. We soon met another small pitch which Mike descended first. At the bottom we were met by a small chamber with a sump pool in it so the cave ended after 30m. The cave was home to many large spiders (much to Jo’s delight), bats and a large crab. We took some photos and surveyed out.

The walk back was warm work and almost back at the car we met the Buffalo again! A quick detour and we skirted round the herd and got back to the car.
