Fan Fawr Uplands

Early morning awakening again.

Along the walk back through the unmarked upland terrain, I stepped into an invisible peat bog hidden under the carpeted ground, where I became immediately stuck up to my stomach in mud, with my full pack on. Fortunately, my friend handily pulled me back out, and I had a spare set of clothes back at the car.

Limestone escarpment, we're hoping will be home to a relatively accessible cave.

We spot the first little entrance in the rock.

As usual, lots of sheep.

Finally we find an entrance big enough we can actually fit into.

Narrow passages, and a bit of crouching, but seems to have at least a small walkable area. I don't have a flash however for any pictures.

The area is home to some rare plants, however I don't know what they look like, and only got pictures of some common stuff.

We find the main entrance, much larger, and home to several rooms and passages we're able to explore.
