A weekend trip with SOC staying in the South Wales Caving Club hut at Penwyllt. On Saturday, John, Chris and I joined two SWCC members - Pat and Bill - in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu, going in the original entrance and emerging in Cwm Dwr. On Sunday, the same three SOC members (and initially Chris's children Ben & Freya) went into Top Entrance and up the streamway to Top Waterfall.
