Hi All,

Here are the details for this Thursday nights trip;


Location : Ogof Hesp Alyn (OHA)

Meet Place : Cilcain Bridge Car Park

Meet Date : Thursday 24th August 2023

Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm

Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves, (harness/tails for entry optional), change of clothes is advised



Link to Parking: https://goo.gl/maps/PQVHy4f8dUdbnt566



Postcode : CH7 5NJ



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.

an you take a tape measure and get me a measurment were the pipe goes up and over the rock and down the shaft how thick is it and how long from the level of the sump if i can remove this the pipe will be at one level from the sump to the shaft and will be easier to drain and if the pipe is 6 inches below a float in the sump it will constantly  drain on its own once started,mick

Dave and i, possibly Sam and Tom H are meeting at 5.30 to have a go and getting to the sump. We won't be there to meet anyone at 6.30 or to show anyone around.
If there is no interest in a short oha trip or people to show others around, it might be worth cancelling this trip

Please Note:

This trip may be cancelled at short notice due to no leader being available and the primary trip being a push to sump 1 by a small team.

Additional trip / dig can be found by following this link and speaking with Ste.K:
