A maze of caves, narrow passageways and underground lakes the cave through which the river Llynfell emerges at the base of the cliffs at Dan yr Ogof farm has always been known. H.P. Lovecraft could have written that sentence.

This story is a delight, and the cave exploration reads like some old Hardy Boys book. I love the eccentric nature of a family willing to store these skeletons in their closet all these years. This should be made into a movie.

Here is a link to a site about the caves:

Found this, and the next five or six (I'm pinging this in reverse alphabetical order, so they stack up A-Z on your "comments" page) on nickcarraway's "in forum" page. Nick pings me and/or Blam with interesting GGG type topics every week I think, but goes a little too easy on us. Here are some he'd not sent. Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on, off, or alter the "Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list --

Ah yes, the modern English church performing ceremonies invoking pagan gods.
It was felt that the Rev Alun Brookfield, vicar at nearby Abercrave for the past two years, should be asked to provide a simple ceremony appropriate to the pre-Christian spirituality of the cave dwellers as they are interred.
"I will offer an invitation to commend those who died to whatever gods they worshipped," said Mr Brookfield yesterday.
"And all people present will be able to contemplate this with whatever gods they worship."
He said he had no qualms performing such a ceremony as a Christian vicar.
I think the word is "twit."
