Trip #1
Location : Garreg Boeth
Meet Location : Hendre
Meet Time : 6:30pm
Equipment Needed : caving gear- expect water and mud.
Notes : Muph is going to shore up the entrance a bit more, and theres the option for anyone who feels like it to go and have an explore. Murph could do with two helpers (minimum) at the entrance, ideally one on surface to lower gear plus one other down with him.
Trip #2
Location : Rhyd Alyn
Meet Location : By the little Chapel at the top.
Meet Time : 6:30pm
Equipment Needed : caving gear- expect water and mud. Cowstails highly recommended for RA as always.
Notes : Steve has some work to do securing a new footway in place and Tim is going to rig ladders down to the HDL level. This would be interesting for anyone who's never before been to this end of the HDL - You can visit the end of drive and then walk 'down stream' a long way to the collapse.

It would be very helpful (not essential) If you could indicate that if are going.
Thanks.

Unfortunately I will not be able to make another Thursday night trip until the 7th of June (my 52nd birthday). Will see you then unless a weekend trip crops up in the next couple of weeks. I will be going to NAMHO in the Forest of Dean at the end of this month. By the way had great time at Mendip CaveFest.
Bugger - I could do with cloning myself as I promised Mick some help with GB, but would also like to visit HDL...
Dave

Thanks Mick,
If you want an early start next week on GB I can get there for about 2PM. Let me know by email if you want any other tools bringing (hacksaw, sledge hammer etc.)
I'll meet up at the Chapel tomorrow around 18.30 for the HDL trip.
