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.

Tintern Abbey

Tintern Abbey visit

On a cold but dry and sunny day we made the short drive from home to visit Tintern Abbey.
Tintern Abbey is a Cistercian abbey and is one of the great monastic ruins of the English and Welsh border area. It was only the second Cistercian foundation in Britain

Dan-Yr-Ogof Battle of Britain Series

Dan-Yr-Ogof Battle of Britain Series

The cold weather -6C at night had reduced the water level to allow us a nice easy dive into the Battle of Britain Series. We had a good look around and found enough to come back again.

Icicles and crocodiles at the entrance

The mist in the photographs is caused by heat coming of the divers.
