Title: Conqueror Of Wales Shaft
Post by: Robin Jones on Apr 03, 2017, 06:29 PM
Paid a visit to the Conqueror of Wales on Saturday.  Any ideas where it might connect to?  Cant be far away from Rhyd Alyn, it's definitely on the same side of the drainage tunnel as Rhyd Alyn...

this drops onto the north crosscut from ryhdymawn to dougs dig and passes above 621,625,627 the only other
way to bypass it is dig throught the fall at lynypandy on the halkyn tunnel and the glory of new ground is
yours, you need to go in rhyd alyn to access the start of the halkyb tunnel, mick

That digs a nightmare. I did about 7 hours once at it in bad air and felt I'll for a week. Its ridiculously heavy going trying to dig the stuff
