I hope to come to Poachers, and may be able to bring a guy from Bangor called Joel.  
I thought Poachers was a nice clean, dry, easy walk in cave?  Even if it is not so, I will still give it a try.  It can't be worse than Nadolig.

I made contact with Joel this afternoon, and unfortunately he can't come this evening, but he will be able to met up next week.
