Just to finish off the trips in this area we poked our heads into this cave. There are only a few feet of passages accessible to non-divers.

Shakespeare's Cave, Clydach Gorge, South Wales
A moist trip consisting of four ducks and a sump which can be (and was) bypassed. This one is recommended.

Ogof Clogwyn, Clydach Gorge, South Wales
Another short trip suitable for novices. This one is notable for its fine phreatic shelving throughout the cave

Waterfall Cave, Blackrock Quarry, South Wales
This would have been the other end of Ogof Rhaeadr Ddu before the middle bit was quarried away. A short trip but a memorable one as the cave has a large population of meta menardi - not a cave for arachnophobics!

Ogof Rhaeadr Ddu, Blackrock Quarry, South Wales
A return to a cave that I had failed to get to the end of eleven years ago. We failed again but did manage to add another 10 feet or so to the club record. After all the guide book does say, "the average sized caver will have difficulties."

Dan Yr Ogof, Swansea Valley, South Wales
A short trip to look at the dig at the end of Hanger North which looks like a very long term proposition. The water in the Lakes was fairly high, but this time we did make it out in time to exit via the show cave.

OFD 3, Penwyllt, South Wales
A trip to the very end of the system taking just 7 hours. A classic trip in every sense of the word, but not one for those who have a dislike for caving at height!
