Caving: Daren Cilau (05-Jan-2025)

First time doing the Ogof Cnwc through-trip.  It took us a few attempts to find the Ogof Cnwc entrance, but it was obvious when we got to the right location.  The journey through Ogof Cnwc was all very straightforward, thanks to the excellent description on the CSS website.  Our first (and only real) mistake was when we got to Busman ...

Caving: Agen Allwedd (04-Jan-2025)

After an adventurous time getting to Whitewalls, and needing to find someone with a 4x4 to tow the van off the edge of a steep icy drop (all ended well fortunately), we got changed and headed to Aggy.  A very straightforward trip through the entrance series to Barons Chamber (and the start of the big stuff).  The nice walking passages all ...

Caving: Charterhouse Cave (01-Dec-2024)

Excellent trip into Charterhouse Cave, Andy was amazing and had no problems through all the constricted sections.  Water levels were fairly high.  Steady trip down to Portal Pool, which was very much sumped.  Had a look at the Citadel on the way back. ...

Caving: Wookey Hole (25-Nov-2024)

A trip around the Adventure Caving route in Wookey Hole, which was awesome, a great facility to have, really well setup.  We practiced different rescue options with their instructors, looked at different kit, and reviewed how they managed the facility for their groups. ...

Caving: Craig a Ffynnon (28-Oct-2024)

A trip down North West Inlet in wetsuits.  A great trip wading through the deep water.  The Dragon was an impressive formation.  We then had a look at the old railway line dig at the end, which was interesting and impressive. ...

Caving: Cwm Dwr (27-Oct-2024)

Very low water levels made for a really nice through trip from Cwm Dwr to OFD1.  The Divers Pitch climb was nicely dry-ish.  No route finding issues either. Once in OFD1, the water levels were low enough we just went straight down the main stream and out via Plutos Bath.  Andy's first time in the OFD steam-way, which he loved. Th ...

Caving: Pant Mawr (26-Oct-2024)

After a delayed start due to attending an awards ceremony in Cardiff the night before, we made the long walk across the moor to Pant Mawr.  Weather was lovely.  At the entrance we met two student groups, and we had to wait for about an hour until we could get down the cave.  We rigged it for SRT, whilst they were using a ladder. Once ...

Caving: Sludge Pit (18-Oct-2024)

An entertaining explore of the new round trip, trying to follow the markers 1-15.  Got a bit lost in a few places, but never that far wrong.  A good trip, even if it was a bit muddy in places. ...
