Left cardiff in one car but it sounded very ill with five of us crammed in and lots of kit so came back and picked up a second splitting the load, got a litttle way down A470 before complete abandonement of the first car and back to the cramped conditions.
Went down to the entrance and left half the kit at the car so had to go back... duh.... and also noticed that or dinghy had more holes than solid walls so gave up and stuffed its limp form in the boot.
Went down through the main entrance and along and out through the resurgence, the water levels looked low and a few of us checked out the way before the others followed, there were a few supprised faces as people got their heads wet the watter was freezing and we were all glad to have wet suits on. Lost my wellies and had to swim through the pool at the end with them in my hands : We walked round on the surface before jumping down a different hole and going to the letter box and the washing machine, we also had some fun on a few slidy bits and had a general look about.
Not along trip but all agreed it would be ideal on a sweltering hot summers day, rather than in the middle of the night.
Wet suits are a must for this one you literally have to swim a few chunks and the added bouyancy is great in the washing machine and resurgence. Dive boots would probably be a bonus as wellies arent fun to swim in.
Looking forward to a trip in day light as theres potential for some great photos. Hopefully return soon.
