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.

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!

The proposed trip was to look at Hanger North and South, and also Dali's Delight.  We headed for Hanger Passage first, entered the boulder choke in the bottom left hand corner, exited top right and found ourselves back in Hanger Passage!  At the second attempt we found the way through and spent so much time exploring that we ran out of time to do Dali's.
A few photos in Flabbergasm Oxbow meant that we had to exit via the river.

A trip to Northern Lights, a first for all of the members of the party.  A fantastic area of the cave and one we shall be visiting again.

Ogof Draenen, Pwll Du, South Wales


We managed to get to Rifleman's Chamber at the end of the streamway.  The streamway is not too impressive, but the dig in Rifleman's is! This is a full scale mining operation, on the surface it would be impressive, over two hours into a cave it is amazing.
