UCET Thursday Trip Advisor



Howdy Doody,

Location : Maeshafn Mine
Meet Place : Maeshafn
Meet Date : Thursday 26th May 2022
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves

Meet Place is the Village green here; https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.1400662,-3.1943197,3a,75y,299.71h,74.2t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sMnFi86t1YkmEn9zFvPUo6g!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DMnFi86t1YkmEn9zFvPUo6g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D345.79327%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en-GB

Nearest Post Code : CH7 5LR

Notes : This is a lead mine with a “Derbyshire Key” lid. There is a squeezy section early on (4 feet) then an internal incline down to the workings. Some of the mine accepts water in wet weather and this can leave muddy water. Be prepared to need a change of clothes. Knee pads recommended.  

Suitable for novices with some experience, not suitable for debut cavers.

If you do fancy coming, please could you let me know either by replying to this thread. No worries if you don’t know.

Thanks !

See you soon…..

:)

Ian
