Ogof Ffynnon Taff , Taffs Wells, South Wales

I put these photographs on line as I recently transferred them from slides.
A cave found by myself, John Adams, Philip Jayne in the mid 1980,s after a six month of digging. These photographs were taken by John Adams within the week of the break through. The formation are now gone due to the linking of the cave to lesser Garth cave making access easy.The original route in was from the active quarry and involved a very tight awkward squeeze.

Porth-Yr-Ogof

Due to an operation on my knee I was not up to caving trips or wetsuit caving (for a few weeks). So I decided to get wet in a cave wearing a dry suit (keeps the wounds clear of cave water) and it was just diving. So myself and Marcus decided on a quick dive in Port-yr-ogof. The vis was good although the flow high. It also gave me the opportunity to try out a new underwater camera (still/video).

Back to BOB (Dan-Yr-Ogof)

The dry weather gave us good conditions to vist the Battle of Britain series. We have now started a dig in the series.

A sunny day and an empty car park as the show cave is still shut for the winter, it opens at Easter.

A few nice formations.
