Porth Yr Ogof (translated as the gateway to the cave) boasts the largest entrance of any cave in Wales at over 17 m wide and almost 5 m tall. Porth Yr Ogof was once operated as a showcave, but is now managed by the Brecon Beacons National Park Authority on a 999 year lease. A managed pay and display car park adjoins a BBNPA visitor centre that is generally manned by a warden. The maze of passages with multiple entrances and easy access has made this the most popular cave in South Wales for outdoor activity groups. The cave is estimated to have over 30,000 visitors per year.

I remember caving here as a child with school , I loved it at the time. Not sure I’d feel so calm in such a confined space these days.

Another nice video Keith. Thanks for putting this up it brought back some good memories. On one occasion I was helping to take a group of scouts down there. Just before we entered a couple of the scouts discovered their lights were being temperamental. We had spares in the minibus so a couple of us legged it back to get them replacements. It was a hot summer day and we were sweltering in our wetsuits. In the meantime another group of scouts was sat on a ledge by the entrance and their leader was giving them a talk on dos and don'ts and especially NOT to jump in the water. Unfortunately at this point there was a loud "Yehar!" and huge splash as me and my mate did a running leap from the ledge above into the water in order to cool off and soaked the lot of them in the process (We didn't know they were there. Honestly!). Of course all our other friends pretended not to know us muttering loudly about irresponsible cowboys giving proper cavers a bad name, whilst trying not to kill themselves laughing.

Hi. Thanks for watching my videos and pleased you like 'em. We don't really do crazy stuff, I just get the camera angles to make it look crazy. As you say it is great fun.

That Rock surface in the letterbox looked so smooth!
@CaverKeith
@CaverKeith 6 лет назад
The cave is used by adventure groups. The smoothness of the rock is due to thousands of people sliding through.

I went to this exact cave and I remember doing the letter bow but I also did something called the worm hole, the toilets and the white line challenge

It's a very popular place for adventure groups. I went with a Scouts group and visited all of the above places in the cave.

You've set a gold standard for caving videos with the quality of audio and video here. Is there any room for a lighting and shooting tutorial? I'm not a caver myself, but rather am an occasional videographer.

Hi. Twelve months ago I uploaded My Caving Videos: How I Make 'Em - Part 1 Equipment (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q6bnUome1SU.html). I'm still intending to make parts 2 and 3 but unfortunately coronavirus is preventing anyone caving at the present time.

Is that area labelled dangerous accessible via cave diving techniques?
@CaverKeith
@CaverKeith 6 лет назад
The reason for the sign is the resurgence is a narrow channel with rapidly flowing water and undercurrents. At last a dozen people have drowned when attempting to swim through.
@speleokeir
@speleokeir 6 лет назад
You can easily swim through the resurgence except in high water conditions. HOWEVER you should only do so if you're wearing a wetsuit. This is because it often has a thermoplane. This is a layer of very cold water just below the surface which can induce shock or even heart attacks even in very fit people. For the same reason it can be dangerous to jump into mountain tarns or flooded quarries even on a hot summer day. Over the years quite a number of people have died in the Porth-Yr-Ogof resurgence and the resulting inquests have recommended not swimming through it unless you're wearing a wetsuit. Hope that's helpful.
@CaverKeith
@CaverKeith 6 лет назад
We will return in the Summer to swim through the river section and out of the resurgence, and, of course, take more video. The reason I didn't this time is because my wet suit and life jacket are in store while I have my house rebuilt.

How do you the people who found this cave know a route, Like how did they do it without hitting a dead end and getting stuck?
@Chickenbone263

Hey Keith! What is the scariest/sketchiest cave you have a video of? Love your videos!
@CaverKeith
@CaverKeith 6 лет назад
Hi George. Pleased you like the videos. The most head-banging cave I've got a video of is Ogof Rhyd Sych. Here's the link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EmKAbEdvIa0.html The scariest/sketchiest trip was visiting The Prokofiev Series in Ogof Ffynnon Ddu.
