Surface

  1. Abergavenny to the left, then the mountains; The Blorenge, Gilwern Hill, and Mynydd Llangatwg, as seen from the Sugar Loaf. Between The Blorenge and Gilwern Hill is Cwm Llanwenarth, ending at the ridge of Pwll Du. Between Gilwern Hill and Mynydd Llangatwg is the Clydach Gorge. The Clydach Gorge is home to many small caves including Llanelly Quarry Pot. Mynydd Llangatwg is home to many large systems, including Agen Allwedd, Daren Cilau, and Craig A Ffynnon.
  2. Gilwern Hill (ahead) as seen from Llanelly Hill, above the Clydach Gorge. The tip of Saint Giles series almost makes it to the edge of the escarpment. The stream that flows North through Gilwern Passage, Galeria Garimpeiros and Saint Giles, resurges at the base of the quarry in the picture.
  3. Clydach South Resurgences No 1, the resurgence for Ogof Draenen's North flowing stream.
  4. Gilwern Hill as seen from the road between Crickhowell and Abergavenny. Waterfall Series ends under the radio mast on its left side (almost meeting Ogof Ddwy Sir, which starts in the obvious quarry near the mast). Galaria Garimpeiros and Saint Giles series take up the middle and right side, a little lower than the quarries.
  5. Gilwern Hill (ahead) and Pwll Du (left). On the far left is the Lamb and Fox pub, and the white building is the Pwll Du Adventure Centre, above the entrance. Waterfall Series ends under the radio mast on Gilwern Hill, The Nunnery ends near the tree line on Pwll Du, and the camera is situated over the top end of Big Country.
  6. Quimp's Quarry, on the northeast edge of Gilwern Hill. The entrance to Ogof Ddwy Sir is near the right side of the yellow-topped lower outcrop, and the cave points towards Bolder Land. The right end of the upper bench also has some smaller caves with impressive echos. The Realm Of Baron Von Carno is under the sloping hillside to the right of the quarry.
  7. Northern end of Tyla Quarry on the eastern side of Gilwern Hill, looking towards The Blorenge. Large Shelter can be seen as a dark square near its far end. Rift Dig is a small shadow below it. Rift Cave's path can be seen sloping up near the right end of the quarry. Waterfall Series ends behing the mast on the right, with The Realm Of Baron Von Carno and Saint Giles Series behind it. Megadrive is in the distant mountain behind the green triangular ridge. The far end of the cave is twice as far as the right edge of The Blorenge.
  8. Tyla Quarry, on the eastern side of Gilwern Hill. This contains numerous short caves. Bolder Land in Waterfall Series runs parallel to the quarry, about 100 metres behind the quary face. Outer Quarry Cave sits over the bank on the left. Box Cave and Ogof Gwyfyn are part way along the upper face on the left. Large Shelter is half way along the upper face, and half way up it. Rift Dig is in the middle of the lower face on the left, and Rift Cave is at the far end of it. In the distant corner is an unnamed little cave.
  9. Large Shelter.
  10. Large Shelter choke, which points towards Bolder Land. However, the cave is in the Llanelly Shales, so it is unlikely to be related to it.
  11. Pwll Du as seen from The Blorenge. On the right, the prominent white building is the Pwll Du Adventure Centre, with the entrance at the tree line on the slope below it. The white building to its left is the Lamb and Fox pub, with Lamb and Fox chamber below the fields in front of it. Megadrive runs behind the quarry, with Canyon, Raiders, The Score and Beyond a Choke Streamway behind it. The Nunnery, Players Tunnel, and Erection Series end in the green patch to the left of the quarry. The little valley to the left (The Tumble) is on top of The Wyvern Extensions. Big Country starts at the left edge of the picture.
  12. Pwll Du, with Gilwern Hill on the left and The Blorenge on the right. The buildings are the Pwll Du Adventure Centre (left), and the former Lamb and Fox pub (right). The entrance is on the slope behind the Pwll Du Adventure Centre. Waterfall Series is below the radio mast on Gilwen Hill with Saint Giles beyond it to the left. War Of The Worlds is beneath the television masts on The Blorenge. The camera sits over the top of Tea Junction, and the pub sits over the junction of White Arch Passage and Back Passage. The adventure centre sits over the roped climb in the Entrance Series.
  13. The top of The Blorenge, with the camera on top of Life On Mars. The Keeper's Pond is at the left edge of the picture, and is on top of the end of The Wyvern Extensions. Big Country spans the area beyond Keeper's Pond, and also ends under it. Lucky 13 is beyond Keeper's Pond. War Of The Worlds spans the area in the distance, with the largest parts under the radio masts. Hexamine Highways ends under the road on the way to the masts. Dollimore Series takes up most of the area to the right of that road, ending in the indented part of the valley to the right. Beyond A Choke Streamway ends further to the right in the same valley.
  14. The ridge of tips above Pwll Du, seen from The Blorenge, over the top of War Of The Worlds. Beyond A Choke Streamway runs under the ridge. Gilwern Hill is barely visible to the right. The Keeper's Pond can be seen in the middle, and Big Country is under the area between that and the camera.
  15. Mynydd y Garn-fawr on the far side of The Blorenge. Prisoners Of War nearly reaches the surface here.
  16. Blaenavon, seen from Big Pit. Beyond A Choke Streamway runs under the ridge on the left, and ends under the housing estate (not the industrial estate) slightly to the right of the middle of the picture. The largest part of War Of The Worlds South is under the two masts on the left of the picture, and Luck Of The Draw ends under the green fields above the houses on the right side of the picture.
  17. Rifleman's Arms pub. Rifleman's chamber, the end of Beyond A Choke Streamway, ends under the housing estate just behind and to the right of it. In the distance on the Right are the fields which are over the top of the end of Luck Of The Draw in Dollimore Series, the furthest point of the cave.
  18. Abersychan, in front of the Victoria Village primary school, overlooking the Nant Ffrwd stream valley. Ogof Pwll Maelor lies in the Nant Maelor valley up the main valley from here (to the left, behind the camera), and has been die traced to the Snatchwood Bridge Risings.
  19. The Nant Ffrwd valley. As of 2015, the stream started sinking just upstream of the concrete conduit seen on the right here. The conduit is a sewer, and not related to the sink.
  20. The Nant Ffrwd sink. The water probably joins the Ogof Draenen flow.
  21. In the main valley just downstream of mouth of the Nant Ffrwd valley is a flood overflow resurgence, in a private field next to the Afon Lwyd river. Seen here as a clump of trees surrounded by a fence.
  22. One of the choked resurgence holes in the clump of trees.
  23. The surface of the field next to the flood overflow resurgence (away from the river) rises up under hydrological pressure during extreme floods, like a water cushion that you can walk on - an almost unique feature. This is known as The Bouncing Field.
  24. The funeral parlour in Snatchwood. The footbridge beside this is Snatchwood bridge.
  25. Upstream (on the right bank as seen here) is the entrance to Ogof Ysbyty Pontypool, one of the Ogof Draenen resurgences.
  26. Snatchwood Bridge Risings line the downstream side of the bridge, across the whole width of the river.
  27. The Pontnewynydd tower block. Under the foundations of one corner of the tower block is the "bottomless pit" of Pontnewynydd Risings, discovered while the tower block was being built. The smaller building on its left is the pumphouse, which extracts water that rises through sand and gravel. This is the main Pontnewynydd Risings, one of the main resurgences for Ogof Draenen. The water is used to flush the local sewers.
  28. Outflow in the main river next to the tower block. This is the overflow from the main risings.

Dollimore Series

In regards to Ian's pictures of Dogleg Complex:

The reasons for placing these photographs on the Web are twofold; first, the trip to these locations involved almost four hours of steady caving, so to visit this area and to do the place justice would involve a round trip of ten hours or more. Should cavers who might not feel up to such a trip be deprived of the opportunity to see these wonderfully intricate formations? Second, these photgraphs form a record of one of the most valuable conservation areas in the whole cave. Taking some of the pictures required the utmost care in extreme proximity to these delicate masterpieces of nature. On one occasion, we had our boots off for a period of three hours - by which time our feet were totally numb! By making these pictures available for all to see, we sincerely hope that subsequent visitors will respect the conservation areas, view from an appropriate distance and use these pictures to enhance their enjoyment of the place.

Ian Wilton-Jones

For the technically minded, Ian used a Nikon EM with a 50mm Nikon E lens for all the close-up work and a Hoya 28mm wide angle lens for the "chamber" shots, with a moderately powerful electronic flash for direct aiming and a weaker flash for fill-in. This enabled any subject closer than about 3m to be taken at f16, giving a good depth of focus. The film was 400 ASA Kodak Gold Ultra.
