Caving Trip to Ogof Draenen Sunday 29th nov 2009

Ogof Draenen ~ 29th Nov 2009

This is a SUNDAY trip to Ogof Draenen which is the 2nd biggest cave in South Wales.

No equipment is needed other than warm clothes, caving oversuit and helmet/lamp. There is no SRT and no ladders.

Murf is leading the trip .....

The cave has some fantastic formations and is sporting in some places. It is part of an active conservation project and, as such, would all members going on the trip please be extremely careful to respect the conservation work that is being undertaken.

Meet time will be 7:00am although Murf has not yet identified where (I suspect he will sooner or later as the club funds do not stretch to the hiring of a Tardis for the day).

Ian

Longest in Wales

2nd longest in Britain

Sorry Ian

sounds good to me.

Oooooooooooooooooooooh,

Thanks for that correction Les - I actually meant it was the second biggest in cave in the country and was located in South Wales. I worded it badly (I wonder if I have done that elsewhere )



You coming .... ?



Ian

Not sure I can make it, I have a prior engagement in the evening. I will have to see.

Okily Dokily. If you can make it Mick expects to be arriving at 9:00am to 9:30am which may be a little optomistic

.....I promise to behave (well, mostly )



Ian

I need to be back on Mendip by 6pm so it is doable so long as we are out of the cave by about 3.30 ish

No reason we shouldn't be Les. Having said that, I would suggest a quick word in Murf's ear first - I don't know what he has planned



Ian

sounds like a good un, please keep me informed as to meet time and place....mite need a lift ...wud contribute to diesel money

I already had a word with Murf before the trip was posted here.

I am supposed to be sending him access info such as where to find the entrance, and how to open the gate.

Oh noooooo Les....

Last time Murf wandered around trying to find an entrance on a trip (mid Wales) we didn't find it all



Ian

We now have a contingent from the Wessex coming with us to show us around which will make a FANTASTIC day ......

If you can make this trip PLEASE come along

Sorry folks, not able to make this trip. Murf has all the info. Have a good time, don't get crushed or mashed.

Les

Ok Les, no worries ~ sorry we will miss you

Hi y'all, Ed and I are gonna have to jib out of this one as well... family commitments beckon Have a great trip see y'all soon....

No Worries Dave

Well im not supprised really all these people dropping out its only a cave at the end of the day nothing really interesting down there apart from getting wet muddy and cold and god knows what else... now if it were a mine then im sure it would most certainly be of interest and more would tag along HAR HAR
