A touristy reintroduction to the joys of Irish caving for Claire and me, after returning from England. We and Seamus went as far as Sump Inlet, and turned back before the swimmy bits. No digging worthy of a report: however, we did notice a steep calcite slope on the left (north), just after the first big boulder chamber in Arch. I climbed up for about 10 metres, after which it got a bit too dodgy to continue without some rope to get down again. It's worth bringing about 30m next time to have a look - there appears to be continuing space beyond.

Steve.
