Hang Dinh Mot exit two

We went on a day trip to visit Hang Dinh Hai, to see if it would be suitable for tourism. Deb, Watto. Adam, Chau and myself went, with us came Mr Dinh who the cave is named after. We also wanted to see if we could locate or manufacture an exit at the furthest point in the cave, daylight is seen here, and there is a strong draft.

It's a pleasant half hour walk (after a short drive) from the Oxalis Tan Hoa centre, two short hills get you to the entrance to Hang Dinh Mot, then it's two hundred metres of easy caving to Hang Dinh Hai.

Hang Dinh Hai starts easy enough but then it degenerates to muddy climbs over boulders, I'd totally forgotten this part as it's easy enough and not memorable for a caver but not really suitable for day trippers who would just want a bit of easy fun. So that was that decision made, no tours here! Still, we pressed on to the end to see if we could find an exit, no joy here either, lots of drafting holes but either too tight or too loose. In a few days time we are going to look at Hang Lanh (?) which is going to be part of a new, improved/extended Hang En tour.
