[Tony Salusbury]

Trip: Ogof Hesp Alyn

Location: SJ191 655, Cilcain, Flintshire

Directions:
From the car park at the Cilcain Bridge over the River Alyn, walk up the hill towards Pantymwyn (away from Cilcain) until you see a public footpath sign heading down a steep hill on the left. Follow this down to the River Alyn (skimming the side of a caravan park) and follow the footpath for around 300 metres where you will see an obvious entrance (hands & knees) in the rock face on the right, this is Poachers cave. Continue along the footpath for another 200 feet (ish) and, located by the bank of the river (and down a slope to reach it) you will see what appears to be a manhole cover. This is the entrance.

Suggested Equipment:
Electron Ladder(s) & full SRT (SRT if venturing down the cliff beyond the canal)

Cave Attributes:
30ft vertical entrance descent, plenty of walking passageways with plenty of (optional) off shooting crawls, a sand crawl tunnel, pitches & pots, a 200ft mud crawl, a “canal”, 2 sumps and many passages to explore and numerous sporting crawls.

Meet point: Cilcain bridge

Meet time: 18.30
