The whole is regarded as the Eye and is enclosed by a fence. A small entrance fee is charged by the Municipality who also operate a small tea and curio shop. We were obviously interested in the underground or cave part of the Eye. The cave consists of a series of dry and wet interlinking passages. There is a large chamber to the south with a few old and decayed formations.
Some graffiti is evident.
Several pits and concrete constructions have been built, presumably to house various pumping equipment in the past. The water is surprisingly warm and it was only after several hours of being immersed that one starts to feel the cold. Truluck and Kloppenborg surveyed most of the cave while Horrell and Sewell investigated various tight and wet side passages. After several hours of caving the party left the cave via the pump house - a vertical climb up a permanent ladder of about 4 m. Upon reaching the surface, we were suddenly encountered with a mind and body numbing cold. Night had fallen and the outside temperature was below freezing point.
