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 the week of the break through. Some of the formation are now gone. The  cave is now linked to lesser Garth cave as the original entrance is blocked .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).
