UCET Trip Advisor

Howdy Doody,

Here are the details for our next Thursday night trip;

Location : Ogof Hesp Alyn (OHA)
Meet Place : Cilcain Bridge Car Park
Meet Date : Thursday 29th July 2021
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves, (harness/tails for entry optional), change of clothes

Link to Parking: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.1777487,-3.2166131,3a,75y,220.59h,79.5t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s0OsETA0IGjHzYHLCN1Ibag!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D0OsETA0IGjHzYHLCN1Ibag%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D325.86884%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en-GB

Notes : This cave is the “Big Brother” to Poacher’s Cave. Entrance is by way of a 20 foot electron ladder then you can expect a conglomerate of crawling, goo, water, big boulder chambers, sand passages, climbing (free and assisted) and a spattering of traditional cave passageways.

Suitable for novices with some experience.

You will get wet and covered in cave silt syrup.

Here is a video of the cave (flick through it) which is representative of the Thursday trip â€" the swimming at the end is optional;

If you do fancy coming, please could you let me know either by replying to this email or posting to the forum (link above). No worries if you don’t know.

Thanks !

See you soon…..

:)

Quack! Quack! Wear a wetsuit!  By the way the rubber will give you some traction in the climbs further in!
