Title: UCET Thurs Night Trip - 14 April 2016 - Nadolig
Post by: Tony Salusbury on Apr 13, 2016, 08:28 AM
Hi all.

Here is this Thursday's trip.

Trip: Ogof Nadolig (Christmas Cave)

Trip Type: General mooch, Enter via maypole to the other end then back again in reverse.

Cave Attributes: 30ft vertical descent by the ungated entrance with a knotted rope. 30 foot maypole descent entrance via the gated entrance. 2 levels of cave, Very squeezy and sporting in places, evidence of mining activity.

Meet point: Cilcain bridge - we can then bundle into the fewest amount of cars and drive down the road to Nadolig.

Google Map Link: goo.gl/maps/TO8TO

Meet time: 6.45pm

Nadolig is a cracking little cave which although short in length provides quite a diverse range of passages to negotiate.

Hope to see you there. I am working late so will meet you in there about 7.30.

Tony

Ok, the 2 new girls can't make it due to work commitments.

However I have a newbie (Paige's boyfriend) coming along with myself, Vikki and my brother Mike.

I've managed to swap shift but now finish work at 6.30 instead of 7.00 so we should get to Nadolig at around 7.00pm.

I'd cocked up anyway. I'm wasn't due home until 20th anyway, now won't be home until 22nd (Friday). I was never gonna make the above... I had a senior moment and thought this trip was for next week. :-o

Sorry murph. I know you turned up at mine yesterday thinking I'd be home because of my post up there!
