The Chelsea would be the best people to ask - that's where I got my Daren/Craig-ar-Ffynnon survey. They were also selling Draenen surveys until politics got complicated, and there was talk of resurveying Aggy but again CSS would be the ones to ask.

The Chelsea's Exploration Jounal of Llangattock mountain contains excellent surveys, descriptions and exploration histories of Aggy and Daren. Well worth the money.

OK, time to even up the score methinks!

Although far from perfect in regard to production values, Tony Oldham's series of books are well worth purchasing by anyone remotely interested in Welsh caves. They contain lots of surveys, plenty of historic info and copious references. I would advise anyone who has not seen any of Tony's books yet not to be put off seeking them out by some of the sarcastic comments made on this site.

I agree with Nig. (This seems to be a first with regards to your posts on this site!)

Tony's books are an excellent and readily available source of information (OK not all the information is completely accurate). They give a very detailed view of a particular area that wouldn't be available without a huge amount of research in club libraries that is beyond most people time wise.

I have had a little dig at Tony in another thread but only because of his repeated hawking of his products on this site and nothing to do with the books themselves.
