Title: Trip in North Wales this Sat, 24th? coedepoeth/minera?
Post by: Alastair Gott on Jun 21, 2017, 05:21 PM
HI,

I'm looking for a trip this Saturday 24th June (from 10.30/11am ish), I'm using an excuse to stay out of Derbyshire for a whole day!
 I have to be in Ellesmere port early, hence my vagueness on time.

I'm normally part of the furniture at the TSG in Castleton, but I helped a diver in slate mines near Llangollen last weekend and on the way back passed Worlds end and the minera mines, utterly stunning and since I've found out that I passed straight over Ogof llyn parc.
 Tom told me of a few bits that I might be able to get in this weekend. eg. Grand Turk Etc,

I'm open to suggestions, some have suggested OHA, I've never done anything in N. Wales, so anything would be great. But if anyone's about and doing something then I'll happily tag along.

Similarly, I've got a few ideas of things to do if no ones around, so not fussed.

Don't stress though, it's just on the off chance there is something going on.

Hi Mark, Just sent you an email, hope your Aches are getting better (I think it was your back?).

I've asked you about preferences on crawling etc.

I am planning on going up to the Yorkshire Dales this weekend, a few things happening and I am hoping to meet up with some of the Wessex CC lot at Helwith Bridge. I stayed at their hut on a CREG meeting a few weeks ago.
If something good crops up in North Wales I could be tempted, however!
I will be able to make a Thursday night trip next on 6th July, just booked that night off from work as I have some leave to use up.

We've not made any plans yet, so you're probably better sticking with Yorkshire.

HI Mike,

I don't mind either, as both sound great.

Meet at the Sainsbury's in Flint at 1pm? as it seems to be well placed for either OHA or Milwr. https://binged.it/2rKll3g
my number is 07931779380
email alastairgott@hotmail.com

I've got one or two things I want to do/look at up near llandegla and Minera, so that should keep me occupied.
 Let me know if you want to meet earlier or later.

1pm at the esso Garage https://goo.gl/maps/Pw6P6GM9mRJ2

"wylfa roundabout"

I'm just having a mooch about, probably just surface stuff. If I find anything interesting you'll be the first to know, and a change of plan may be in order, but probably very unlikely!
