Ogof Pasg and Ogof Foel Fawr,
Herbert's Quarry, South Wales
Saturday 4th October 2008
These two small caves are connected and
the plan was to do the through trip. We thoroughly explored Pasg
first and stopped for Brendan to take numerous photos. The
connection involves descending a pitch and in spite of taking the
recommended ladder length and a long tether the bottom of the ladder was
about four metres from the bottom of the pitch.
The only alternative was to walk around the side of the hill in bitterly
cold driving rain and enter Foel Fawr. We did all manage to get
through the very tight squeeze and find our way to the canal at the
bottom of the ladder pitch, stopping this time for photos and video.
