Chances of getting into DYO

[paulf]

What's the likelyhood of getting into DYO this Friday or Saturday ?
It's going to be 1 in 6 wk/ends for 2008 at this rate

Weather looks settled at the moment for DYO. Last heavy downpour was on Monday.

er, beg to differ, sir.

Satellite shows Atlantic depression sweeping in very shortly with about a 3,000 mile long cloud tail aimed for us: my guess is the weather at the weekend will be shite. With luck, I'll be proven wrong and will be able to top up my tan.

If you've got the choice I would definitely aim for Friday. Forecast for Saturday is not good and if it stays that way it is doubtful that the showcave staff will allow you to enter the cave in any case.

Personally, I'd be perfectly happy going there on Friday with the forecast as it is and water levels as they are. Wouldn't even consider it on Saturday at the moment.

Naturally, it is worth checking the forecast again nearer the time just in case it has changed (either way).

On Sunday morning the cave was flooded completely back up to the parting of the ways in the showcave.

It would be worth a call to the showcave to check before making a trip across.

I'm keeping a check on for Friday we're getting to Wales mid morning but I'll give them a ring anyway
