Through Trips - OFD1 to Cwm Dwr and Cwm Dwr to OFD1, Penwyllt, South Wales

Last minute and hastily arranged, this trip as one of those where from no one wanting to go caving to having almost too many bodies seemed to happen in a matter of minutes. With eight people the only logical thing to do was to split into two parties and do the same trip in reverse directions. We met up underground at the letterbox.
