The Diddy pit is a separate cave, it is a collection of chambers and rifts with the entrance and exit next to each other. (Neil McLaren)

Notes: The NGR is for the uphill entrance and is correct - relative to the lowest entrance of the Paper Cave and according to the 1980 survey. The altitude is also correct in the same way. But the way it currently (9/5/23) sits on the map contours suggests that maybe the current NGR for the Paper Cave needs to be checked.
