Title: Hello and can you help me!
Post by: DannyRees on Aug 30, 2022, 05:36 PM
Hi all,
I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself as possibly the newest, and most inexperienced, member!

I have finally taken the plunge and joined UCET having been interested in caving for many years. I live in Coedpoeth and growing up around here I have always been fascinated with Minera lead mines and the other local caves but I have never managed to get down any… With the exception of the Wedding Cave in Nant y Ffrith but my 9 year old son and pet dog have been in there also so it isn’t much of an accomplishment!!

I am on the look out now for any kit suitable for a novice like me. If anyone has anything for sale then please get in touch and hopefully I will get out with everyone soon enough.

Thanks in advance,

Danny

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the welcome. I’m working when the trip is this week which is a real shame.

Hopefully by the next one I will have all the gear and no idea!

Thanks again

I’ll bet! I will always be humble and honest about my inability! I’m looking forward to seeing some interested places on the dark side though.
