Anyone fancy a trip this weekend, I have nowhere in mind I would just like to get out one day.
I could manage - but not with Bella.
What sort of trip do you like best John?
I could probably manage too .... my head is currently stuck up my arse and brain capacity is currently at 0.2% :huh: :huh: :huh:

April was ages ago though?

Anywhere I haven't already been.
I would certainly like to get out this weekend. Snowdonia perhaps? Pandora? Cae Coch Sulphur mine?
It is nearly a year since I did Cae Coch Sulphur mine with John O, Bella, Alison, Vikki and Ian.
Have you done the Gold Mine in Coed y Brennin?

You mean Gwynfynydd? Yes, did it a month ago,excellent but a bit too soon to repeat it.
Yes Richard, but I really like that place for some reason. Is the right word 'bewitching'?

Sunday would be good?
Sunday would be better for me too. Looks a nice day saturday - too good to miss on the lake.
As nothing seems to have been posted for Saturday, I guess the trip will be tomorrow - Sunday. How about somewhere near a curry house?
If a trip is on tomorrow would be great to get out.
John's & Ian still up for trip? And if so where? ;)
I don't know where everyone has or has not been ...
There are loads of slate mines;
Moel Fferna
Penarth
Cambrian
Cwmorthin
Wrysgan
Rhosydd and others to name a few ...
Plenty of lead mines
Some Gold mines
The odd cave
And a few A.N.Others ...
Have a look in the two knowledgable banks and someone come up with a suggestion where they have not been but would like to.
:)
Ian
Or .... have a look on Aditnow or Mine-Explorer both of which have huge knowledge banks of their own B)
Booooo :-( i can't do this weekend but have fun wherever you go x
Thanks Ian
Penarth or Cambrian sound good. whichever is the longer trip? :)
What about
Rhiw Bach Mine - if we can get access - is this possible at short notice Ian?
or
Clogwyn y Fuwch Mine & Klondyke Lead mine
Rhiw Bach - I have not done that one, and don't know where it is.
I have done the Klondyke adits and the short slate mines that you have to climb up to from the Crafnant carpark. Nice countryside and a sickeningly good climb.
Penarth could be good too. I want something easy as I indent to take my camera
I have not done Rhiw Bach either.
That's ok for me.
So Rhiw Bach if we can get access or Penarth if not?
Ian can you post meet time and place please?
Ooooooh suddenly lots of suggestions ....
Rhiw Bach mine is currently a "No No". This is the mine that Miles uses for his Go Below business - I don't imagine Miles would mind but Gethin also has an interest in the mine and he just refused Crazy Claire access on request. Given the current politics I have no wish to be awkward so we should leave that one.
Penarth is about 2 hours, possibly a fragment more - longer if John is taking piccies :P
Cambrian is wet and possibly the same length of time
Klondyke is short and the slate mine above is also short - both better for a day wading up streams having a splish splosh in good weather
Sooooo .... I would suggest Penarth ....
Meet time doesn't need to be early so shall we say 11:00am with some sandwiches for lunch.
Meet in this layby here;

Done ! See you there B)
Great!
See you at 11. :)
Should we invite Dylan - as it is his home patch?
Yes if you like, I am certain he has been in a few times :blink:
I don't know Dylan's phone number, but as Club Sec I guess you must have it. He wanted to show us around his home mine one day. Apart from which, Dylan is always fun to be with!
Is the mine itself far from the lay by meeting place? If necessary, I can take everyone up to it in the truck.
The layby is where we park to walk to the mine John .... there is no way to drive up to it sadly.
:unsure:
Ian

he is quite capable of inviting himself , its not as though he does'nt use the forum. in fact he's on it right know :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:
I would tag a long but I'm working I'm affraid.
I am sure that we will think of you in your absense whilst we are there.
This is rather late notice, but I'll see you all at the lay-by at 1100.
