This weeks trip is to Garreg Boeth Mine
This trip is suitable for novices. You will may get wet as water goes to thigh depth. You can choose not to see the back half of the mine and avoid most of the water if you prefer. This is an opportunity to see the whole mine if you haven’t seen it all (or at all).
Location: Garreg Boeth Mine
Meet Place: Hendre (Roadside parking only between Hendre village and The Oak freehouse on Mold-Denbigh road. Please do not block any driveways/gateways and avoid parking directly in front of houses if you can.)
Meet Time: 6:30pm-6:45pm
Requirements: Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp.
Notes: Standard caving gear. No SRT required.
It would be useful to know who’s coming along so if you can pop a message on the forum, facebook or reply that would be great.
Thanks
Vikki

John
Yes, bring him .... it will be good to see you underground again too ...
Don't park at the Oak it's too far away. Park in the little village of Hendre - you should see all out cars there (on the main road parked up at the side)

I'll be out yepeeeee
i'll be out tonight
well done all best break through for a long time ,now we know were we are in conjunction with the engine shaft I will be going on Thursday to fit in hangers and will measure the depth to the level I will then go over to the engine shaft and measure the same depth down to were the adit level should be and mark it I think some boulders may be hiding it as Tim reckons some may have fell down the shaft from the side once in here we should then access the workings after 30 ft, mick
Murf do you need a key to get in the way we went in on Thursday? Some of the team was thinking of going for a look in two weeks time.
you need a pair of long tipped plyers to turn the bar inside the hole of the lid we have a pair hidden in a pink box I will show you on the day, Mick
here is the new map of the break through with the new route
What's the green line on there Mick?
