UCET Trip Advisor

Howdy Doody,

Here are the details for our next Thursday night trip (there are two);

TRIP #1
Spar mine for some SRT & Electron Ladder goodness (don’t worry, the 2nd trip isn’t SRT). We will be rigging the mine for some “in situ” SRT and Electron ladder practice for those who feel they might benefit. It’s also a great time for those with more experience to dangle around and bristle with excitement.

TRIP #2
Spar Mine adventure. For those not wishing to take on the SRT practice, there will be an opportunity to wander around the mine all the way to the water at the bottom AND, if the water is shallow enough, AND if you are daring enough, combat the deep water to explore the rarely seen lower level.

Location : Spar Mine
Meet Place : Car Park opposite the Oak Inn
Meet Date : Thursday 24th Nov 2022
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm onwards
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves, SRT kit if you want to fumble on the ropes.

If you do fancy coming and you need to borrow equipment (like a lid/lamp) then you MUST reply to the UCET forum so that we know to bring the stuff you need. If you are new to us, please do not leave posting until the very last minute.

Thanks !

See you soon…..

Hi,

Have you got room for me to join you for some SRT/ladders tomorrow?

Hi Ron,

You have managed to find a nexus in the quasar ....

The SRT element was for members of the club BUT I didn't actually stipulate that AND you appear to already have SRT experience (I have trawled your FB piccies) ... so, if you are SRT competent and are looking for a refresher then you are welcome.

If you are learning from scratch it wouldn't be suitable - the rigging assumes you are already familiar with all the basics.

Best,

Ian Adams

Yes, I'm ok at srt. Would just be good to do it somewhere different!
I'll see you tonight if that's ok.

You should see cars parked up along the road outside the oak park here or in the small car park opposite Alyn Fireplace
