So I went to Poachers & OHA yesterday (with low expectations of much caving). While I was expecting very high water I thought it might be worth reporting my findings in case it’s helpful to anyone. Attached below is the recent water levels at Rhydymywn. So the river was flowing and lapping...

Hello! Bangor Student Caving Club are having a problem where the compasses we have in our emergency kit (occasionally helpful when a little lost) keep getting this weird white mold or fungus type thing growing inside the fluid in them. This in turn eventually creates the world's largest compass...
