GOOD BIT OF CAVING PREP ahead of the MENDIPS

Hello All,

Here are the details for our next Thursday night trip;

Ogof Nadolig (Christmas Cave)

We usually only do this cave once or twice a year, the last time was the SANTA Special, you can take a look at Gaz's video on the forum here - www.ucet.org.uk/index.php?option=com_kun...562&Itemid=191#46776

Location : Ogof Nadolig
Meet Place : Cilcain Bridge
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves, (harness/tails 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 not have permission from the farm to use the road and the parking as they do not own it, but parking is at own risk so long as we do not block any access points to the sewage works)

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.

updated secondary parking info, as permission isn;t obtained, however parking is available only if we do not block access to the sewage works and bear in mind the vehicle size that may need to access there

Hello,

I’m new here (have emailed about joining the club but haven’t had a reply yet - to be fair it was only yesterday!)

Would I be ok to come along on this trip?  I’ve got some underground experience ( but mostly in mines) and all my own gear.

Thanks!

Stefan
