It has taken me so long to write about this weekend caving that I've already posted about our first day in Dan-yr-Ogaf, whilst I catch up with writing. To be honest I've had a couple of lazy week/weekends and therefore should have had these posted weeks ago, but for some reason I've not got round... Continue Reading →
This was another caving weekend set up by our friend Tim at the SWCC. These caves are bigger than those found in the Mendips, and oftenl house some beautiful features that are separated by some really sporting caving. The first cave was Dan-yr-Ogaf, a showcave with dinosaurs and who knows what else, but it also... Continue Reading →

Today's cave was Pant Mawr which meant on leaving the hut, we had to walk for over an hour, over the hills being the hut to each the cave opening. Tim's navigating brought us directly to the...

Please excuse my lack of knowledge as for caving lingo etc… but only a few trips down, I’m not quite there with the correct knowledge, although hopefully a... Continue Reading →
We completed another caving route around Swildons Hole. We went in via the Short Dry Way to the 20 Foot Pot. Then past the Double Pots (had to traverse around the side of the second one) and up through Barnes Loop then continuing down the streamway to Sump 1 (actually 1 inch airspace). Through this...
