Title: Mystery Waterfall
Post by: Ian A on Dec 21, 2020, 04:13 PM
I have seen a piccie (well, a couple) of a "waterfall" which is said to be in South Snowdonia ...

Unfortunately, the folk publishing the photos won't say where they are (top secret and all that stuff)

Below are two pictures - it is the same waterfall in both; does anyone know where it is?

 ;)

I agree with you, I'm sure I've seen this with a lad in full caving kit

It's about here.
You need to climb down a slope to get there in a lower level of the quarry and the water goes out underground

Nice, thank you Les ...

You have retained your esteemed position of "Fountain of knowledge" (I tried hard to make that punny and just missed the mark)

 :woohoo:
