126 Cueva Fresnedo 1
Fresnedo VP53240141 Alt. 135m Length 300m

The bottom entrance is at the end of a dry stream bed. The top entrance is in a brambley shakehole 20m behind. Both entrances draught out strongly.

The cave is basically developed on two levels - the lower stream level soon degenerates into a two dimensional maze of cobbled crawls. Twenty five metres inside the bottom entrance a crawl off to the left unites with the higher level. Emerging up through a rift, the top entrance, a 7m pitch is 5m to the left. To the right various shuffles and crawls lead to a large chamber with three exits. All routes appear as a maze and connections can be made with the lower series.

A frustrating cave, as its position and draught indicate a large amount of unexplored passage. In the summer of '94 a resurvey of the cave could only find 45m with no draughts, confirming what seemed to be the case in 1990.

The entrance to the 7km long Cueva Fresnedo 2 (841) is a smaller entrance 10 metres away.
