Title: srt trip
Post by: Loz on Feb 15, 2020, 02:00 PM
Would anyone be up for doing a srt trip to Tomas Evans shaft or lot shaft it is a srt trip
Tomas Evans is about 130 ft in total with a fairly large cavern in it
And I don’t know about lot shaft I’ve only been about 20ft in the person I went with bottled it
I don’t think anyone has been to lot for a good while same with Tomas Evans shaft

Hi loz
As your not a member of the club I think its inappropriate for you to organise trips .

I’m only asking if anyone would be interested in checking these out with me I have ropes long enough
And unlike most of the club I’m not working so at the moment money is tight an I want to help sumone who is actually a friend before I rejoin the club if I do rejoin
I’ve not found the club all that welcoming expect a few members who have been brilliant

I think Loz has organised the trip outside of the club Andy....

Perhaps we could organise a trip too?

May be on a weekend day?

It would need someone with contact with the house owner to give us the nod - the entrance is (literally) on their driveway.

Not sure it is Mr A.
If I remember rightly it's a bit of a wooded area, right along side a tree

No, it's not that Adam ..... it was a normal road of houses with a driveway to the right of the house (as you look at the house) and the manhole was pretty much in the middle .....

I can get access to all of the shafts in eryrys due to me being a local
I also know where they all are and have already asked for access to the one Ian talked about
If anyone would like me to go and ask for access I will happily do that
I have not been able to get a trip going even thou there has been enough interest and access is sorted out
The photo added is the one Ian is talking

Hi Loz,

Thank you very much for offering to knock on the door.

We have an Access officer and it is their job to do this, there are implications of course (insurance, waivers blah blah) and as much as I (and I am certain) other members of UCET understand it is very kind of you to do so, I have to decline your offer (as Sec).

I will ask our Access officer to have a peep at this and, if you don't mind, I can suggest he liaises with you.

Fanks!
