Hi all,
Steve is heading to poachers this thursday so there's an opportunity for anyone who wants to join that isnt going to Ty Gwyn this week.
Open to non-members
Thought to be over 500,00 years old, the cave is full of interesting passages and formations, including the 'big boss' chandelier chamber, a very rare iscosceles passage, and much more
Great trip for beginners or newer members

I'd like a place for my friend Alix she has a helmet and light. Non club member but lives local enough to do Thursday and looking to do a few trips with potential membership in mind :-)
Add me in for this one please!
For the noobies. You will get wet and muddy so make sure you bring a change of clothes and a towel
