Gareg boeth for me please. I know that tim(logs) has expressed an interest in coming too.

John, would you be okay to take my Vicki down Hendre? Unless of course you would like to see Digs Doug? She doesn't mind either way :)

Yes, I would love to escort Vicki down Hendre Spar mine.  I am sure that she will find it easy and yet great fun.  Suggest we meet at Varsity at 5.00pm.

So that's me and Vikki for Hendre Spar mine. Seems I shall meet Mighty Mouth Marty at last!

Joel for SRT trip.

With regard to trip 3, Dougs dig, (Tre Eden Owain day level) I ventured down there today for a look, I can report that there is just as much water as ever pouring into the dig despite very dry conditions on the surface and in the wells.
I get the impression that there was no interest in this trip anyway, if that is the case I will join the "Spa mine" trip.:dry:

I have never had a situation before where someone was so eloquently 'unwanting' to meet me!

Thanks Marty for a pleasant evening in the Spar mine, and also for explaining some of the technicalities of the workings.  I look forward to seeing your pictures.

The Brittania seems a nice place to meet. Pretty barmaid too.

Just had a look at Marty's photos on Faceboook. Very nice. B)

Is this Lloyds Spar Mine at Hendre? It looks completely different from anything I've seen down there.
