Title: Thursday Trip 21st June
Post by: Stephen Davies on Jun 20, 2018, 01:12 PM
This weeks trip is to Belgrave mine in Llanfferres.

This will be an SRT through trip if we can remember the right 'chimneys'.

MEET TIME: 6:30-45pm

MEET POINT: Large layby on A494 between Llanfferres and the Llanarmon-yn-lal junction.

GEAR:
Essential: SRT gear (up and down), gloves, caving helmet and lamp.
Recommended: Caving suit/overalls, change of clothes.

Due to this been a SRT trip, only those who are SRT trained (Ucet or by others) should come unless you are happy to explore parts you can access without ropes.

This is a nice trip and a good one to do a little bit of rope work if you have not done any for a while. It is a nice system where you can do a loop rather than come back on yourself.

Regards,
Steve.

I think I should as starting to bottle it again (will try not to whinge too much, or get stuck!) and Dougs grass makes me sneeze too much.  Will be there closer to the 6.45 mark.  Thanks

I won't be able to make it tonight so if you want an art trip make sure you get hold of boydy to get the ropes

From Mold, head to Ruthin and as you come through Llanfferres, the Druids Inn will be on your right with the layby a further 400yards on your left just outside of Llanfferres.
