    Default Where does Hill 400 end?

    I only have the online map, which does not show line placement. Does the Hill 400 Line end near the end of Roller Coaster?

    Trying to plan my next dive any help would be appreciated.

    Goes to the Hillier tunnel (one line) just after the bats and then jumps onto the Double Domes jump (its about a 12inch long jump) about 50ft from Goldline.

    Thanks James.

    I wasn't sure which way the line ran.

    Just to make sure I understand the Hill 400 line runs continuously through the Hillier tunnel and ends at the tunnel that heads for the Double Domes?

    That is correct. Once you make the left off the gold line it runs one line all the way to the tunnel that (left) goes to the Double Domes and (right) goes back to the main line (about 50'). The jump from the end can be no jump, if someone has hooked the double dome line over the rock where the Hillier tunnel ends, or a few feet.

    Have fun

    The hillier used to be a lot tighter, that's for certain. Still very pretty, though. What dive are you planning? If youre worried about enough gas to go full way around, you can also look at the shortcut tunnel...but you would miss the hillier.

    It looks like that damage was done intentionally to me. It was done just after DEMA 3 years ago(3 or 4 ??) coincidental with other damage intentionally done in other caves.

    There is no way that damage could have been done accidentally IMO.

    I've often thought about bringing a trowel or something similar and trying to smooth over so bad areas in caves that don't really self heal. I have not though for fear of making things worse. Anyone tried something like this? Other than the "pro" job at Cow I don't think I have seen it discussed.
