Weekend in Applecross

I'm planning a weekend in Applecross fairly soon and would like some suggestions and information.
We'll probably do Uamh an Breagaire on one of the days and are looking for ideas for the other day. I know there was a very impressive master cave discovered recently - can anyone offer some directions to this, or recommend something else?
Also, how dry does it need to be for Uamh an Breagaire?
Thanks in advance.

Uamh an Bregaire is  dry although if the normally dry stream was running into I would not want to be in there - unlikely.  The advice on not  attempting the main entrance (with the boulder choke) is excellent - we came out that way and that was scary enough. You will have to be nice to the GSG to find the Cave of Wonders.

From what I've heard, the Cave of True Wonders has been flooded most of the winter, and this recent rain won't have helped...

There are a few small caves and mines around Applecross and Kishorn, which are listed in the Caves of Applecross and Kishorn, which is available from the GSG.

I agree with  And... FRN2 (Cave of true Wonders) will be flooded at the moment and will need at least 5-7 days to be able to access all the known areas. Cave of the Liar is certainly worth a look as it's a dry cave and Glasnock Cave (which has an entry in a stream bank) and Cave of the Kings at Kishorn are also worth a visit. Although not as long, the latter still has potential for more passage.
I would have been happy to meet up but between work and other commitments I can't commit to anything. Best get the guide from the GSG to help you of their whereabouts.

Thanks for all the tips.
We got into Cave of True Wonders on Saturday no problem and found that both entrances to Cave of the Liar were fine.
Absolutely awesome trip. I'm writing a trip report, which of course will not reveal the location of the Cave of True Wonders.
