    Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, South Wales

    Left Ringwood, Hampshire at 6:30am Saturday just gone, arrived at the SWCC at 10am bang on. Saw a message from Phil (who we randomly met 6 weeks ago, on a welsh caving recce.) "i'll be there at half 10. no rush." Cheeky beggar only lives half an hour away. So we got changed and wondered who the...

    Longwood Swallet, Mendips. What a great cave!

    Thanks Judi. We went in and out the same way avoiding August hole, that was seriously too wet! (well i thought so) Turning left after the entrance series past the shower/aven, traverse down into the main chamber (had a little explore at the far end, but didn't fancy the climb up or down) doubled...

After 20 mins digging out sweating in the heat, we decided to squeeze through the broken half. Perseverance was damp but fun, cowsh crawl was deep, followed the marble stream to the atlas pot...
