Title: Cwmorthin Sat 10th Sept
Post by: Ian A on Sep 02, 2011, 08:44 PM
As you may know from the members section, Corin is running an SRT trip on Saturday in Cwmorthin.

At the same time, (ie. the 10:00am meet at the Cafe car park), I will be running a non-SRT trip for two new explorers and anyone else who would like to come is very welcome.

We will NOT be going through the water and we WILL be exploring a different part of the mine (obviously the first bit will be the same).

Please let me know (post here, PM, email, smoke signals etc) if you would like to come.

:) :) :)

Hi,

How much SRT competence is required for Corin's part of the trip? Labrat suggested I may be able to do it, is it particularly involved?

Might there also be room for Louise, (from our last Cwmorthin trip) Lou has no kit, but has done SRT in the past - albeit quite some time ago......
