Little Neath River Cave Observations
LNRC Observations: First trip down through Bridge Cave sump 1 to LNRC and some distance crawling in low water in The Canal before deciding to turn around. Sump 1 was pretty clear, at least 3-4m visibility, with a thick layer of brown foam on surface near entrance. There was also a strange smell, felt on the way back from the sump. Also spotted four big trouts in the sump1 and 2 other smaller ones in The Canal. No litter found in the cave, and the rescue drums were intact and sealed. Some footage taken on a gopro, will check it later.
