UCET Trip Advisor


Hello All,

Here are the details for our next Thursday night trip;

Ogof Nadolig (Christmas Cave) Santa Special

This is another one off special trip to Christmas cave with us all dressed as Santa. You MUST be in Santa uniform and you will not be allowed to cave with the group if you do not have one on. There will be “before and after” photographs. Santa costumes can be bought off Amazon with next day delivery and Ebay with dubious delivery dates.

Location : Ogof Nadolig â€" Santa Special
Meet Place : Cilcain Bridge
Meet Date : Thursday 21st December 2023
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves, (harness/tails optional) â€" Santa Costume MANDATORY

Link to Parking at Cilcain Bridge: maps.app.goo.gl/BzhvGEUvyuuhyAaw8

After meeting here, it is best to car share to the next meet point.
(Limited to 4-5 cars MAX)

(Drive down the bridle path â€" parking is very close to the end of the lane past the farm. We DO have permission from the farm to use the road and the parking)

Notes : This cave is “squeezy”. Descent is by a 10 foot maypole ladder, there is a flat out crawl of around 30 feet and a rope assisted descent down a pot of, around 15 feet at 45 degrees then 10 feet vertical. This is usually done with a “flying angel” but you can clip on with “down gear” if you want. If you are in doubt, please ask on the forum.

Suitable for novices with some experience.

Please confirm attendance here on the forum.

Gutted to be missing this... I bought a suit last year that I didn't use.
But hopefully I'll have finished work before you get out and will come for a drink afterwards.... So Let me know which pub you're going to.
