North West Inlet, Ogof Craig A Ffynnon in drought

[Huge]

Ogof Craig A Ffynnon - North West Inlet in exceptionally low water conditions 25/8/25

Those who are familiar with North West Inlet, will know that it usually involves a neck deep duck at the beginning and a couple of hundred metres of waist deep wading. Not recently!! I filmed this yesterday - sorry it's a bit rough. Watch till the end for the cliffhanger moment.

But... what happened next?? Did you have to hop out?

I'm still here! Luckily the phone signal is still good. The rain we're having should see the stream back to normal levels any time now and that should soften the clay enough for me to get out hopefully.

I don’t know why but back in the 70,s there seemed to be a bit of a mental block about Langcliffe and despite having passed that first choke twice we were stopped by the next choke, wriggling under old car jacks. On the third visit we got through and followed it to the bitter end, going uphill. On the way out Bob Toogood who is tiny got stuck in the squeeze you describe. I’ve got a 42” chest but having got up first I just laughed and laughed at Bob,s predicament for the one and only time, as he didn’t half laugh about Quaking. That was long ago when being in my 20,s in the 70,s was great, but being in my 70,s in the 20,s is not so good!
