Warning

Stream passages below Garlands Pot may become impassable in flood conditions. The cave should not be descended by novices during heavy rain. St. Valentine's Sump rapidly fills, and is difficult to bale from the other side. Baling outlet frequently blocked now. Make sure Far Curtain is accessible before abseiling Filthy Five for a round trip via Geology Pot!
