Title: Oh, hi.
Post by: BrynF on Jun 06, 2022, 09:21 PM
I'm Bryn, only just joined - so hello everyone.

I'm 32 work at sea as a mechanical engineer and have an interest in climbing and exploring new and interesting places, especially sites of industrial heritage. I'm also trying to learn a bit more about geology and why places like North Wales are the way they are (geologically speaking) though this is only a recent interest.

I'm not unfamiliar with rope work, though caving seems to be a very niche collection of techniques - that said I recently got put through my IRATA Level 1 through work so have an appreciation of things such as descent/ascent, passing deviations etc.

I'm based near Criccieth, happy to travel but do work away for months at a time - if that helps explain any absences.

Thanks for reading  :)

Hi Bryn,

We have a qualified geologist (and ex-chairman of the British Caving Association) and he is, to be fair, a whiz at the stuff.


Get involved and get yourself a great time.
