Spar or Belgrave for me .....

Maeshafn and Nadolig will both be especially wet and shitty :dry:

I have several spare helmets and lights always in my van - and Bella's clean suit if she is not comming.
Belgrave for me. It was lovely there last weekend (top levels).

Also there is a connection that Mike Leahy made that I have not explored yet, and it would be good to try it with someone else around.

I'm for Belgrave (top level) or the unknown Spar.
I'm not so keen on Nadolig if it is likely to be a sloppy affair, and I would rather do Nadolog with Bella later.  Likewise, Maeshafn is likely to be even wetter and more slippery than normal - not quite my idea of fun.

Which other Spar mine is to be invaded?
Why 7.00pm not 6.30pm for Belgravias?

I suggested 7pm as it isn't the longest mine on the planet and it gives me time to get back from work, eat and sort myself out ;)
