National Showcaves Campsite Arrival, Tour and visit to the Dan yr Ogf caves!

The llama's the one to the left and the alpaca's the fluffy one to the right. There we go. Showcase! I know, I thought I was showcase but I was not. I got excited, I was prematurely excited. I know, I hate it when that happens. Showcase! And somewhere around here is a campsite. Oh look at the little train! It's a cool adventure park for kids. I wish they'd do an adventure park for adults. I'm guessing over there to the right. There you go, yeah, the big yellow sign there to the right. Ah, the arrow says go left. But we want to go right. Ooh, there's a food place. There's a food place. Snacks, waffles, ice cream, sandwiches, tea and coffee. We're coming down here in a minute. Coming, coming, coming, coming. Oh, careful, off the edge of the road. Oh, llamas! Hello. Look at the llamas. That guy's going to get kicked in the head. Which guy? The guy's kneeling or crouching right behind the llama. Oh, it's probably dark. The guy on the phone was really lovely. The last entrance is at three, so we need to park up and then wander down. Mountain parks and motorhomes and things. Where possible, please reverse into the middle of our bay. I'm guessing we have to go and say hello to somebody. What, like a little place? A home away from home. Tenting car park. Adults only in that section. No, there's not two together. I see what he's doing. There's a lot of llamas and alpacas. Oh, Tash told me yesterday which was which. Do llamas have long hair and alpacas have short hair? I've forgotten. Wow. Hello. Oh, look at the one in the back, little way ahead. Like, what are you doing? What's going on? Oh, the one round the corner. OK, you guys are cool. You're like, so inquisitive. And the puppy is just like, what's that pup? They're not sure about you and you are definitely not sure about them. Don't make any noise. I quite like the fuzzy one that's just eating, like, whatever. You are now putting me off my food. Bye. The view down the valley is incredible. So, every pitch has got a little tap, fresh water tap, an electric point, which is numbered, and then it's got a little one of these, which I haven't seen, actually. It's waste water. You unscrew it. Yes, that's waste water. You unscrew the cap, and if you have a little outlet hose to your waste water, you can drain it into there. Don't connect your fresh water hose to your waste water waste. It's beautiful. This is my favourite bit. Look at all the little ducks and crannies. A little private parking space there, and another one down there. And again, everything looks gorgeous. And some of them are quiet zones, and some of them are, you can have a couple of people in, like, beautiful groups. These are the toilet blocks. You've got a whole room dedicated to your cassette toilet waste. You've got a washing-up room, which is neat, actually. I haven't found a rubbish bin. Okay, so this is a quiet zone. Oh, it's coming again, probably. Aha! That looks like a bin to me. No, no, it's not. Oh, mountain bike wash and dog wash. He's literally taking himself for a walk. Oh, no. What are you doing, crazy dog? You've got... We're there, and we've got... What's that one called? There's one cave at one, then the bone cave. They found, like, seven people from 3000 BC or something in the bone. And then number two is the cathedral cave, which was this enormous cave that they found. And they reckon there's loads more underneath the hill. So, yeah, we're going that way. 1912. Then we found that limestone edge. Oh, wow. Oh, this is cool. They found this in 1912. And they opened it as a cave in 1939. Oh, God, look at how steep it goes down. Oh, wow. OK, now there's headroom. Oh, hello, man. That would be awesome in the garden. Yeah, I'll just... Tell you what, the technology of the ad in 1912... The technology of the ad in 1912 is superb. Finding a plasma TV in a cave, it's just amazing. Oh, they're those gangly things, aren't they? Oh, wow. Every day is a learning day with the birds. And Max going down there. That's pretty cool. You can actually see that. In fact, you can see it better like that. Sorry, do you want to come over this way? So you see the reflection there. This is epic. So much cooler than I thought it was going to be. Mind your head. Yes, a lot. This is the second one. Yeah. And the last one's that way, at the top of the stairs. Awesome. Thank you. That's the bone cave, but we're going to do the cathedral cave. Up this blinking big hill. You did say you'd get to the bone cave the other way. We've got to go that way. No, it's that one where we were. Yeah, I think it is. The good thing is you're not having to scramble over two routes and things. That's true. We've got an emergency light. John can be in charge. Oh, wow. Yeah, okay. I'm roughly the same size as a prehistoric man. I thought they were smaller. Yeah. Okay, next time you get married, you can get married here. You said it. Original entrance. You probably don't see it. Look how narrow that is. It's from 1953. It is quite small. But is it worth it? It's more like an exhibit probably than a cave. They're not selling it. Okay, then. All right, thank you. Do you have to wear a helmet? I'll get on in my hat. We're sure enough to walk through, though. Go on. Why would you build this? Go on. This is not easy. When you were walking up to visit Bone Cave, imagine you were stepping back in time to a period of man's past history called the Bronze Age, some 3,000 years ago. I'm literally crouched down. Yeah, you can ignore the Bone Cave. But the view is incredible to come up here. The dinosaur park is supposed to be good for kids. That is the National Cave Research Centre. It's really good. Definitely worth taking a spot there after you go down to see caves. And now, ice cream. It's impressive that the blue paint has lasted 4,000 years. No. It's quite amazing on the designs, though, isn't it? Do you reckon the llama's the one to the left and the alpaca's the fluffy one to the right? Fair enough. I like the alpacas. Baby alpacas are so cute. Aww. You're beautiful. Wow. Oh, sweet darling. Ha ha ha! We go around the world for a show
