UCET LADIES TRIP ADVISOR [/color]
Hi all,
The next ladies trip will be to Cambrian Slate Mine (Glyn Ceiriog).
A slate mine full of odd chambers and passages. In fact, it appears to be two mines connected via a “pit†(open working to surface).
Exit could be made through a drainage adit, from the workings to concrete pipe....it is wet, so be prepared to have some over welly dampness.
Inside there are many interesting things to see including small artefacts to huge, wall sized man-made features. There are also several flooded chambers with divers’ lines attached.
A significant collapse has blocked part of the mine (perhaps the largest part).
Suitability: suitable for novices
Location: SJ 189 379 (Approx)
Directions: From the roundabout in the centre of the village “Glyn Ceiriogâ€, take “Quarry Road†(it is signed and is also marked as a cul de sac).
Drive up for around a mile and you will see the road forks left and right with a rough layby on the left and the left fork is a private road. Park there.
