Title: Thursday trip 15th November.
Post by: Stephen Davies on Nov 09, 2018, 06:21 AM
Hi folks.

Two trips this week.

TRIP No.1: PEARL SHAFT, Pentre Halkyn.
MEET TIME: 6:30 -45PM
MEET POINT: Farm track on left just after Cemex quarry entrance (Keep quarry on your left). Take care with track as it is a sharp left through a gateway.

Interesting use of ladders and passageways. Good excercise.

Standard caving equipment plus cowstails and belt if you have one. Let us know if you haven't.

TRIP No. 2: DOUG'S SHAFT
MEET TIME: 6:30pm onwards. If you can get there earlier then great.
MEET POINT: Doug's Manor.

Standard caving gear for this one plus waterproofs dependant on the weather.

Regards, Steve.

Well personally, I think Ade should acquire a plane and take us to Madeira, the Seychelles or somewhere similar.  But because he's a t***, I suppose we could break through at Dougs dig, or perhaps do OHA, Pearl Shaft (with life lining for those of us who have potential to wuss out)or that other bit of Belgrave what keeps being talked about!  :)

Unfortunately I will not be out for a fortnight due to housemove this week and working nights next week (lucky me)!

I'll probably head to Doug's to inspect progress and try and help out. Probably aim to get there around 17.30-18.00

Note to Steve and Adam if you come to my house for 6.30 we'll go in one vehicle plus it's a bit awkward to find it you don't know the road
