Well, they're worth a visit for some - we like to have the occasional get-together at the smaller
cave, but lower down is the Cathedral Cavern itself. This one is accessible via a decent sized
tunnel, and of a reasonable size. The accoustics in there are amazing, and we've had some excellent
jam-sessions in there. It's too big, cold and damp to camp in though. There's a little climbing to
be had outside it, some of the routes look interesting, if a little short (IIRC, all single pitch,
maybe 60 - 90 foot?).

lot of caving, i was just wondering if there was one locally i didn't know about.
Fair do's! Haven't been to those myself, although I'm sure my climbing Buddy Rob and my lil' bro
Mark have taken a nosey around them.
Cheers Pete,
