Aven des Pauvres

The cavity begins with Un trou (A surface hole) about 3 metres in diameter. One reaches the well-cleared meander at -41 m. One progresses without difficulty on all fours to be stopped by Un rétrécissement (A narrowing) at the P153. At the bottom, the meander effectively ends at Un conduit (A passage) which curiously narrows although one is supposed to be heading downstream; and if it seems to continue, the meander becomes muddy and increasingly narrow.

On Un côté (one side), the variant accessible through A small window at -90 where one can see pearls in formation (resist the temptation).

The collector appears temporary and seemed nonexistent that afternoon. According to Ludo, there was no draught that Saturday 1 November 2009 at 18h.

Un petit P8 (A small P8) starts. Begin with Un arbre (A tree). The spit is to be looked for Un mètre (one metre) lower, on the road side. At the bottom, follow Un petit méandre (A small meander) for 5 metres to tackle Un P21 to be descended against the wall. A spit is present at the start to make the traverse. Un déviateur (A deviation) is necessary at the top and at the level of the 2nd boulder at the bottom on the survey (it is published on Un ancien Séranne (an old Séranne)). The rest can be down-climbed. One sees the drilling marks (congratulations to the diggers). Everything is bolted. One can almost descend it full speed except at the bottom on the ledge at approx. 175 m. or split it if there are many of us (approx. 5 or 6 spits). The following P8 follows naturally. One then finds on Un côté (one side) the variant accessible through A small window at -90, on the other side the meander leading to the last P15.
