Two cavers cut off by flood water have made it to the surface after more than 30 hours underground.

They were trapped in the Dan-yr-Ogof caves in the Swansea Valley but were in a dry area and had access to food, drink and warm clothing.

Gary Mitchell, of the West Brecon Cave Rescue team, said the pair "have come out in really good spirits".

The men, in their 30s and from South Wales and Gloucestershire, had been trapped in the complex since Saturday.
