Meet Place: Outside of the Glan Pub, Dolphin, Milwr
Meet Time: 6.30pm -6.45pm
Requirements: Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp â€" SRT kit
 
Mike will be visiting Pepe’s shaft so opportunity for SRT practice for those that dare.
 


NON SRT TRIP

Location: Maeshafn Mine

Meet Time: 6:30pm-6:45pm

If you can let us know if you are coming that would be great, should there be no takers for the non SRT trip please let me know as if the weathers still good I’ll be happy to wander up Moel Famau instead

Big shaft (350)ish, 7 re-belays so you better know your shit.
Ps.
If you haven't completed an srt course with budgie you won't be able to come.

Think it will be Moel Famau for me.  I am not SRT trained for big pitches and Maeshafn's a poo hole that I promised myself that I won't be going back into!

I’ll only be going up there if maeshafn doesn’t happen, not that it stops you going up anyways
