Cefn yr Ogof, Abergele ?
Although it does look quite beach cobley by the entrance.

The plot thickens, there's a squeeze at the entrance into OBJ Hole?
I don't remember that, I suppose there is a narrowing where you do have to crawl for a moment. I can see it being that shape, oddly green on one side, which I don't remember.

Hm - I also wondered about that. I thought it was a pitch entrance.
I'll probably be passing over the next few days; if so I'll take a look, just to satisfy my own curiosity.

It's all a mystery to me as well, but these days I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

We definitely didn't go down the wrong hole because it was during winch meet so rigged with BPC ropes etc. Just beyond this 'squeeze' there was a tiny shuffle, step down (a climb for me, I am a bit small) then the pitch if I recall correctly. The 'squeeze' was smaller because of cobbles on the floor and the rock was very sharp so snagged on clothing. I suppose it could be roomier if less filled up. Maybe we just had bad technique and made it more difficult than necessary. But samouse 1 had to go through sideways and he is not fat. Can't remember what I did but I think it was sideways too

No, you are too far south, in both cases.
Way too far north, it's one I wanted to visit when I was there, but I seem to recall the tide was too high when I tried. The cave pictured is no where near here, this is the coldest of the guesses.
Still too far north.

My recollection of the entrance is a shakehole freeclimb a short rift passable at ground level which is pretty much straight onto the pitch head, backup spit on the right wall behind you. I should know quite well as I wrote a newsletter article about it!

The sixth you were missing was probably Motley Pot.

I'll chip in with Minchin Cave just in case previous guess is wrong.
