Can come round to your's Thursday before going over to Spar.  By the way Spar Mine should be everybody's cup of tea. Nice and easy unlike Maeshafn which is a poo-hole!

I am aiming to head to Doug's to take a few pictures of the dig as I am writing an article for the forthcoming Cambrian Caving Club newsletter. I will probably arrive around 16.00-17.00 and need to leave around 18.30 as I have a meeting on the Wirral later. Happy to do a bit of digging as well, but don't want to get completely covered in mud...
