Next to the sugar cube in Ogof Draenen

That isn't a what heppened next photo is it?

Perseverance Series (probably not an official name), Ogof Draenen. The corner just before Fault Chambers, where you can get a drink from the Inlet falling down the little aven. Wouldn't sit there too long! 😲

Babyhagrid got in there first though. 🙂

 

[Babyhagrid]

How about this one

 

[Long Drop]

Haha, i helped put that scaffold pole in. Wouldn't jump on it too much.

 

[Huge]

Pwll Dwfn.

 

[Babyhagrid]

Indeed Huge. The top of the sump, (that must go)

 

[Long Drop]

Indeed Huge. The top of the sump, (that must go)

Below water when the silt has been dredged out that sump ends in a low horizontal slot, into which a diver can squeeze about a body length. It needs enlarging. Technology is changing / improving with new underwater drills appearing so I'm hoping that in due course we'll read in the CDG NL that some future diver has got through.

In the meantime looking forward to Huge's photo

 

[Huge]

Here's another resurgence for you.
Long Drop will be familiar with this place, too!

 

[Huge]

Not a single guess so here's a wider shot of the area.

 

[Huge]

Still no guesses so here's a clue.

In the quarry in the background is cave that shares its name with the resurgence.

And here's an even wider shot of the area. The feature in the foreground also shares its name with the resurgence and cave.

 

[Babyhagrid]

In the Herbert's quarry area?

 

[Huge]

Very cold, Babyhagrid. Much further East.

 

[Graigwen]

Ffynnon Claisfer?

 

[Huge]

You've got it Graigwen, over to you.

Claisfer Resurgence/Ffynnon Claisfer, as dived and surveyed by Long Drop a while back. Tight and very cold, I think is what he reported.

With Ogof Claisfer in the quarry in the background and Claisfer Pot in the last photo.

 

[Graigwen]

I have just had some very bad news about my brother, so would like to decline on this occasion and let someone else have a go.

It's a mine (obvs!), not lead, not copper, not slate, not manganese, not zinc, not sulphur.

Chris.

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Think the fence is familiar, and given your ore list - Prince Edward Gold Mine ?

 

[Ian Adams]

I'm sure It's Prince Edward Gold mine (nice one Robin) in the middle of nowhere. There is an incline a few yards further up the river/streamway (you can't see the river that it's draining into because its behind the camera) which I slipped down trying to get a look at the lower level. Once I had fallen down (and twisted my ankle so it swelled up like Jupiter), I thought I may as well have a peep before trying to get back up (which was awkward as buggery with one working foot). Not much to see down there except a short internal shaft (from above) that would have been easier to get down Anyway, it's one of the many places I learned that sometimes things aren't as easy as they first seem
