The Outer Circle, Agen Allwedd, Llangattock Escarpment

An event packed day out in which Brendan was late due to immobilising his car on a garage forecourt, Keith evacuated the CSS changing rooms by evacuating his ..... (too much information), Jason met his nemesis in Coal Cellar passage and Chris proved too rotund to negotiate a tight rift.  After taking photos, doing more of the cave than was strictly necessary and backtracking we emerged onto the frost covered escarpment after 10 hours underground.  Finally we were too late for a pint and a meal so ended up having an Indian meal in Abergavenny.
