Underground in the Forest of Dean

Weekend 23rd and 24th August 2008

Two caves in the Wye valley.

On Saturday, we went into Otter Hole, but water conditions prevented us reaching the best bits; on Sunday we had a much more successful trip to Wet Sink (Slaughter Stream Cave).

Thanks to Paul Taylor of RFDCC for leading both trips, and to the whole team for carrying photo gear.
