Church Sinks Observations
The river water was Flowing under the bridge
Church sinks flora: Not noted
Church sinks fauna: None seen
Church sinks water temperature: D-Timer would not record (too shallow)
General Church Sinks observations: Water partially flowing under the bridge, which was surprising given the initial low water levels in Porth. Wondering if the lunchtime rain had started to make it flow later on.

Top Entrance Observations
Accessible by walking up the riverbed?: Yes
Top Entrance Flora: Red Campion Meadow Buttercup Herb Robert
Top Entrance fauna: None
Top Entrance water temperature: Not read but 13 degrees during dive
Top Entrance general observations: 1 intact plastic carrier bag (removed) in river bed.
Dives done into Top Entrance?: No

Tradesman's Entrance Observations
Tradesman's flora: Hartstongue fern
Tradesman's fauna: Grey Squirrel in tree by car park, top of steps
Tradesman's water temperature: 13
Tradesman's water level: 64cm (25 inches)
Did you dive at Tradesman's Entrance?: Yes

Tradesman's underwater visibility: 5.0 exactly with secci and tagged line, using Halcyon Focus on medium/tight beam. No helmet light.
Tradesman's water flow: Low in entrance, becoming higher beyond the pot and very high by Essers junction
Tradesman's underwater fauna: 2 medium size trout, pale but not completely white 2 large trout, mostly white 3 bullheads (white) throughout the cave and one seemed to be digging in the silt
Tradesman's general observations: Secci station depth: 2.9m Lots of particulate in the water, viz quite brown and poor. Lots of silt covering normally clean washed passages. Ladder had fallen down from first airbell so replaced it. New line in the pot looks very good and clean and rope protector doing a good job. Some snoopies have broken so a good job for a trainee to repair some. Silt screws on the sand banks before 4ways still totally solid. Lost go-pro in entrance so unable to shoot video or images (found post-dive but too late for a second dive.)

Main Entrance Observations
Main Entrance flora: Usual moss and ferns
Main Entrance fauna: 1 small brown fish darting around in the main entrance pool
Main Entrance water temperature: 12 (at 2.2m depth)

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.

Tradesman's water flow: low for Porth
Tradesman's underwater fauna: Some fish seen, white ones with spots. Two mating frogs/ toads seen near exit on way out
Tradesman's general observations: Line repaired in first pot and bottom belay moved from rock at base of pot to flake which holds line away from the wall, tube used to protect line running over lip of pot. Not noticed before but is actually a small air bell above the pot. A plastic tub (sofonlime??) could be brought in flooded then filled/ sealed and used as a float belay above pot if further problems occur as an option instead of drilling a bolt. Second dive attempted to sort out Esser's line, descended pot and continued along passage, line was intact past lead weight belay to thread belay on right hand wall, then had been quite cold and I had a large amount of rope to deal with so tidied it and exited shivering all the way out.
