Below is a photo taken last week (May 2012) of the drainage tunnel out of chamber 31, at the end of Leval Ffrench. If I remember rightly, it actually looked worse than when we last saw it in October 2011? The other end comes out on floor DE just before the Cwm/Oakeley boundary collapse. According to the plans, it is, not surprisingly, shown to be blocked by falls.
Under no curcumstances did we attempt to enter it and I have submitted this photo to see if anyone can confirm if the entrance has indeed suffered further deterioration in recent months
