Ogof Cnwc / Old Prices Dig is an alternative entrance to the cave system, and is gated. To enter
the cave via this entrance, the key may be obtained from Whitewalls from a member of Chelsea Spelaeological
Society. A £10 deposit is required. Exit is possible without a key.
The dry connection between Ogof Cnwc and Daren Cilau is now fully open to cavers of most shapes and sizes.
Please note, however, that the area needs to be treated with considerable caution until stabilisation work has
been completed.
Please enter trip details either in the log book 20 metres inside the Ogof Cnwc entrance or in the log book at Big Chamber nowhere near the Entrance.

For logistical reasons, there are two underground camps in the cave,
known as Hard Rock Cafe and the Restaurant at the End of the
Universe
which are used on a regular basis. If you have not camped in Daren
Cilau before but would like to do so, please contact Adrian Fawcett, Mark Lumley, Chris Seal or Charles Bailey for further information about HRC; Charles Bailey or Phil Rowsell regarding REU.
Please do not use camp equipment or supplies without prior
arrangement, as most of it is personal property. However, please do feel free to write in either camp log book if you are passing through.
Most of the cave is still in a good state of preservation, but
careless footsteps have taken their toll in Jigsaw Passage. Please
respect the tapes.
Also, please take care not to disturb the permanent telephone wire
in the entrance series. Report any damage to Adrian Fawcett.
