The sun came out as promised, but there was a cold sharp wind, and so clad in hats and buffs we made our way over the hills towards Pant Mawr. An hour later we arrived at the shakehole and started to kit up and rig the pitch. Mark rigged and was then followed by Loz and Chloe to meet a sheep at the bottom that had made a rather unplanned descent. Was the sheep simply stunned? Was it resting? or was it pining for the fjords? Chloe declared that it was in fact an ex-sheep.

We headed into the cave and spent some time taking photos in the Chapel before heading down to the sump.

On our return we took photos at several locations arriving back at the pitch at 6pm. After taking photos, prussiking back up and derigging we were heading back to Penwyllt at 7.30pm.
The Entrance Pitch.
7 hours underground with an hour walk each way made this a rather long day out.
