News: Ogof Marros – New Discovery

A new cave has been found in Carmarthenshire by a team of ten cavers from South Wales. The cave was dug throughout much of 2015, and the new cave passages did not come easily. An account on the South Wales Caving Club blog describes tight squeezes, awkward drops and boulder blockages. Added to this, flowing water made the work even more unpleasant.

A large stream passage was ultimately entered, in October. Parts of the cave are very well decorated. Some 300-400 metres of streamway passage have been discovered, which contains several cave trout. Further details of the cave are in the blog, to be found at :
