| 177 With the light of the Armoury shining through the small entrance you advance quickly into the hidden passage. Whereas the Armoury was stripped bare of all its contents, this passage is crammed with old broken ornaments and smashed furniture. The first 10 metres proves easy enough, but as you move further into the darkness your progress becomes slower. The debris forms a tangled mess that forces you to pick your way very carefully through the accumulated layers of rubbish. The passage looks like it would normally be quite wide, but it is so cluttered it becomes necessary to push large objects aside, just to make any headway. It is as you are forcing a particularly large wardrobe out of the way that you become conscious of the fact that you are making far too much noise to remain undiscovered. Stopping for a moment, you take a rest and decide that if the way ahead becomes any more difficult you should return down the passage, back to the Armoury. After travelling westwards for another 20 metres the passageway turns abruptly northwards.
