How do I start? Caves are a special and rare environment, some more so than others, and parts of some more so than others. Active stream passages and potholes with fast moving water may have very little that can be accidentally damaged by the passage of a caver. All these features are easily damaged and cannot be repaired. The following is a carefully considered CODE intended to minimise damage to caves. Please read it and follow it whenever you go caving. Thank you. 2 KEEP PARTY SIZE. 4 DO NOT TOUCH FOR...

How do I start? Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, the Cave of the Black Spring, commonly known to the lazy or non-welsh as OFD, is the nearest cave to the club, lying almost under the cottages. There are 3 entrances to the system within easy walking distance of the cottage - the OFD I or bottom entrance, the Cwm Dwr entrance and the OFD II or top entrance. Please see the access. Information for OFD to plan a trip. For the full experience without leaving your chair, look at the Virtual Tour. At: www.ogof.net.

How do I start? On the other side of the valley from Penwyllt, almost opposite the cottages, is the entrance to Dan-yr-Ogof. This is an fine and extensive system, and the river which flows out of Dan-yr-Ogof initially leaves the surface on the Black Mountain, more than two miles from where it can last be seen in the cave. The entrance series of Dan-yr-Ogof is a show cave. Water levels in the Lakes especially are known to be very variable and can rise with little or no warning. Control of caver access.

SWCC has plenty of social events to help you relax after your caving (or instead of caving! For a list of all upcoming activities see the calendar. Some events are annual, such as the Ceilidh with barn dancing held on our AGM weekend in May and at New Year. May spring up at random! Is usually held after the late May bank holiday, and has the more serious intent of doing DIY on the cottages. To keep them in shape, but is usually accompanied by much beer and dust.
