Report by Matt Ewles
Turn right off the road at the vague path/overgrown wall near the top of the hill, and Cullaun 1 is well hidden beneath bushes and trees on the left hand side in a sort of clearing. Several other upstream entrances might be found by accident if you're unlucky too!
We aimed to complete the rather long round trip, however, with the number of people in party this proved to be unlikely. Navigation by the Selected Caves description was fine, until after Ba*tard Crawl (this is its actual name!). We commenced the round trip, however, we had too many people, and people were cold from crawling in streamway, plus I was uncertain about the route down a rather awkward 4-5 m pitch (the description says a bypass to the left I think, but I couldn't see it) so we turned back. A great trip, best with only four people, and neofleeces are a must!
