I sat up groggily as my alarm went off far too early. Then I opened my eyes properly – this was the day of the trip that had first been suggested last year on a cold evening in the NPC hut when we were talking to Clive Westlake after our trip to the Far Country. The trip that I was more desperate to do than any other in Wales. After giving Andy a less-than-gentle nudge I rushed downstairs to get some... read more

Water levels made the main streamway rather \"sporting\" (aka pretty fecking scary in places). It would have been foolish to be in there had there been much more water.

Words of wisdom from Gover the night before (paraphrased): \"You won\'t make it through the boulder choke first time. I can guarantee it. I\'ve spent an hour there before trying to find the way\" Yes. We got a little bit lost round the boulder choke. Thought we\'d made it through first time (ha ha Rich - in a respectable 10 minutes too) as where we popped out had lots of footprints - clearly people had been here before so we must... read more
