Ogof Ffynnon Ddu (Top entrance - Selenite Tunnel - Main Streamway)
7 July 2010
OFD is always fun but not sure I'll ever get used to the navigation around Top entrance! We left the leading up to Nikki but still managed to go around in circles several times before finding the way to Maypole Inlet. Not that I would have done any better and it was nice to take a route I'd never been before with some interesting passage and formations along the way.
Almost no water in the main streamway so we headed up-stream for a while which is an another area I've never been to. Some quite impressive streamway but nothing overly interesting.
A fun but easy trip to start our week in Wales.
