anyone done Bryn Eglwys Mine?? Corris area

No but i bet you will soon.:)

how du work that one out mate?? ;)

Just a hunch you now:ohmy:

all i know about it is that it is a neck deep wade out with the a drop.  am looking to do it shortly, and wanted more info, bolts etc... but.....

I haven't done it .... neck deep water sounds like your gig Fabby, not sure the rest of us are mad enough to do it (well, there are a couple who would :silly:  )

You could try picking an easier mine or engage in a nice game of chess.....

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Ive done it :P  and it was brilliant.  Very interesting and a nice little exploration of the hillside as well :lol:  The mine is slate and has some BIG chambers in it, there is a short passageway with thigh deep water only in it (Im 5'4", some really interesting winches and a old possibly kibble frame as well.  There also is a waterfall which can be abseiled down if you want to

'I WANT TO - ANYONE WANT TO DO IT AS WELL????'

Coming out of the mine and accross the car park, there is a shaft with a lovely trickle of water going down, decent stuff to rig off.  At the bottom, you can either walk out in knee deep water,OR turn left and go up into further chambers and see the waterfall that I want to ab down.  The way up into this area tho is through neck deep water.  I had to wait for 2 people so was sat in cold water with a strong draught - I therefore didnt do the neck deep water as was absolutly freezing - when you stop shivering and you think its warm??? mmmmm.  Ah well.  I still want ot do it tho.

ANYONE??????? It'l make a fab trip :)
