Caratteristiche

Località

From the village of Masroig we will follow the road that leads to the ermita de les Pinyeres, pass the barranc de la Vila and the Molí de ca la Verònica and 500 metres further on we will turn off onto the road on the right. We will leave this road after about a km to turn right onto a track that leads to the Molí de l'Antònia (this is a working wine-growing estate and permission must be requested to pass through and to leave the car where it is not in the way).

From the mill we will walk back along the track and after about forty metres we will find a signposted path that goes to Bellmunt; we will soon see a high-voltage power line that we will follow for a while, we will climb a hill (elevation 230 m) where there is an electricity pylon. At this point we will leave the path to find a small track that descends steeply towards the barranc dels Molins. After descending the slope we will cross the little stream and go up a muddy ramp to continue along the path and, after about 250 metres, we will turn off onto a wooded trail on the right that climbs up a gully (marked with white paint). We will climb about a hundred metres and easily, beside the path, we find lo Bufador no. 1 and 14 metres higher up is lo Bufador no. 2.

Descrizione

Morfologia

We find an entrance 2 x 1.60 metres located on a slope. We land on a cone of rubble; here a joint opens up with a SW-NE orientation and fairly regular dimensions, from 0.50 to 1 metre wide and with a variable height of 1 to 5 metres.

If we go in a NE direction we descend a 1.20 m drop and find a gallery 3 metres long; on the right a 2.50 metre crawl leads off and narrows between the blocks, although the fissure continues. On the ground, on the right, a small pit of a couple of metres can be seen, not accessible without clearing.

If we return to the base of the entrance pitch, we will go in a SW direction and after 3 metres we will find a 3 m pitch which we will descend to continue in the same direction; behind there is a small crawl of about 3 metres that becomes impenetrable. Six metres further on we find a 2.75 m drop that is easy to climb down; here a small hole makes a connection under a block; after 2 metres the joint (here 5 metres high and 0.90 wide) descends between wedged blocks down to the deepest point reached (- 14 m.). The cavity continues further down but is not passable.

Progressione

We will have to descend a 4 m pitch. The rope was rigged from a pine tree and a deviation. To descend we must be careful of unstable blocks, a precaution we will take throughout the exploration as the cavity is quite decomposed.

Storia
