UCET Trip Advisor Thursday 22nd May

Hello all,

Here are the details for our next Thursday evening trip;

Hendre Spar mine
IMPORTANT - NO Social Media photos are to be shared from the land accessing the mine or of inside the mine. Please only circulate photos taken, in the PRIVATE areas of the forum and through Whatsapp community only

There are 3 options for this weeks trip:

1) SRT / rigging practice- I believe Charlie will be practicing rigging on two pitches near the entrance so there is the option to practice SRT / rigging skills

2) Help with some maintenance- Gaz is going to be making the entrance shaft more secure, and any volunteers who'd like to help are greatly appreciated

3) Walkabout- Mary will be leading a walkabout trip in the mine. Suitable as a first trip for anyone interested in giving it a go


Location : Hendre Spar mine
Meet Place : Hendre, near the Royal Oak- either in small carpark opposite or near the road
Link to Parking: maps.app.goo.gl/T4RRLnFFGQqBz7gH6
Meet Date : 22nd May
Meet Time : 18:30pm - 18:45pm
Suitability : Novice (walkabout), SRT competency (if doing SRT)
Requirements : Overalls, Helmet, Lamp, change of clothes, full SRT kit (optional)

Was this trip meant to be posted in the public area of the forum?

Yeah it was because it was open for non members to join us, so I've moved it to public
