how do you cope with not getting the camera fully damp? I mean I have been to white lady cave 3 times trying to take pictures of the wonderful walls but after 2 seconds out of the bag, pocket, box, whatever I put it on, it goes all smokey and all I see on the shots is fog!! Help here please. I...

Can anyone indicate where exactly is the dry short upper series above the chasm?!!! does one need to go further up the cliff?

According to reports White Lady Cave needs no tackle but at least a 2 metre or so hand line of some kind is required, am I right? Or is there another way in other than the short climb down (and up)?

After the short entrance crawl and then up the next crawl, which way is on? Left or right? I had a quick look the other day (on a walking day) and want to come back, had been there maybe about 5 years ago but can't remember...

I have seen  a lot of caving books and own a few but I would like to find a book that I have been looking for ages. I don't know if such book exists but surely it does... A book with the history of how/when/what/which rocks and minerals form in caves. Stalactites, stalagmites, cave pearls...

Can anyone tell me which caves can I easily access in the Mendip area without having to pre-book anything; just turn up on the day and do it. (by easy access I mean no need to book, I don't mind if I have to walk a few Kms to get to the cave) Nat

With all the rain pouring down recently and set to continue at least to the end of the month which caves can I safely go to in South Wales without worrying if it's going to flood even if it rains profusely for 24/7? Non key/code gated would be even better. I can't book anything as I am not...

The outdoor companies advertise their canyon/gorge outings as near LLangollen but I have lost a whole day around Llangollen looking for every possible river/gorge/canyon and couldn't find anything worth doing. There are some clips on You tube of a gorge walking with an outdoor llangollen based...

Hi I am planning a trip to Brecon area on the weekend of 11+12 Dec. I am going to take the A470 from Cardiff all the way up. It's a double carriageway up to Merthyr Tydfil and then narrows to one lane. Does anyone know of the state of this road from Merthyr Tydfil to the Brecons, snow wise? Lots...
