Hi all,

Here is this week’s trip.

Trip 1: Pearl Shaft

Trip Type: General mooch. Entrance via ladder (with safely line for newcomers) and then a fair bit of crawling!

Meet Point: Road right next the Cemex/Rhes y Cae quarry, I'd recommend driving to the bottom of the lane, turning round then parking.

Google Maps: 53.241095,-3.221807

Meet Time: 6:45pm

Notes: Knee pads a good idea in here.

We can also look in the other shaft next to Pearl (think it is called Thorntree Shaft).

As it is a shortish trip there's plenty of time to pop back to the Glan-y-afon pub in Dolphin just up the road.

I'm up for this, can I borrow a helmet and head torch?
Got a boiler suit but what should I wear underneath? Oh and don't have knee pads.
