Faff factor = extreme!

<br>Ogof Draenen – What a fantastic name! This was the trip that very nearly wasn’t. The greatest challenge lay above ground! We must pay credit to MFI and Carpet Right for their (little known) copying facilities, it was a mixture of ‘Treasure Hunt’ and ‘Challenge Anika’ but there was more to come... Finding the cave wasn’t easy but Gary’s SatNav came into its own and soon we arrived at what appeared to be the foundations of a WWII command centre or something. Anyway, on arriving at the cave entrance none of us could get the padlock open so Gary and Matt went to the pub (where else?!) to ask them. In the meantime several bodyslams on the padlock actually got the thing open and in we all went. I really liked the variety of low crawling, vertical climbs, big boulders and garden water features, as named by Gary! I would love to go back and do more. Excellent fun!
