this cave was chosen as our srt kits were feeling somewhat rejected and neglected, being in wales and all. Thus in order to cheer the little fellas up a bit we trekked (and i mean trekked) to Pant Mawr, experiencing all manner of sunshine, rain, snow and hail on the way. when we finally arrived (about three days later) it was a good little trip, lots of unspolit pretty stuff to see.

If I remember rightly, this was my first caving trip after getting the cask off my ankle :) Was good fun, and nice and efficient too!
