We
are very glad to announce that the connection between the Aven de Noël
(Bidon-07) and the network of the Grotte Saint Marcel (Saint Marcel
d'Ardèche-07) is now real. The junction occurred in the "Capture
passage" in the Réseau V branch behind a sump.
The work of the ARSPAN in Bidon and the GASOIL (Groupement Associatif des Spéléos d'Orgnac, Issirac, Labastide)
in Orgnac l'Aven started during the october 2019 yearly camp. It
allowed the discovery of 160 meters of new land prior to connecting with
this passage.
All
official autorities such as the Mairie of Bidon, Saint Marcel
d'Ardèche, the Natural Reserve and the Grotte Saint Marcel were
officially informed a month ago.
The
Réseau V branch of Saint Marcel network was discovered and mapped
"post sump" by the club AVENS. The exploration is still going on via the
Aven de Noël access under the ARSPAN cover.
This
area remains protected also by the ARSPAN entrance flow management, and
all exploration respect the rules of the ARSPAN regarding to the group
size and visit frequency. Accurate report are provided to archive the
work beeing performed.
A detailed communication will come in the next months and we surely will keep you updated with the latest discoveries.
