Rhyd Alyn â€" Trip to through Rhyd Alyn
This is a trip through Rhyd Alyn and potentially down to the train (time dependant), this is suitable for those with good fitness levels. It is important to note that this trip includes over 1km of horizontal passages, some of which is stooping, And if we do it all 500ft of ladders to descend down, but also to come back up! False floors, rotten timbers above head height. CARE must be taken. Harness/Belt & Cows tails MUST be worn for this trip.
There are areas with traverse lines across some false floors or holes in the floor, it is highly recommended you clip into these lines.
