Prince Edward Gold Mine - November 2012

[Dave Tyson]

We had a trip on Sunday 11th Jan 2015. The track has been resurfaced as it has been used by vehicles working on the 275Kv overhead lines. Although we parked down near the farm it would be possible to drive all the way to the mine without needing a land rover or similar. Only fear of losing my exhaust in a fully loaded car prevented us from driving all the way. It was very windy walking up, but thankfully dry...

It was bitterly cold on the day we went to this mine with Dan Sutton and Andrew Farrow. We walked a long way in the wind to get to the mine - but once inside it was fine! I returned there last year with a small team and did the through trip, and found the entrance gate easier. The surfaced track does not provide permission for access, but my feeling is that the discouraging signs are an attempt to prevent people off roading.

The road/track from the junction before the ruined house at Dolddinas up to the mine is private and the farmer gets pissed off if he catches people driving up there.

The sign is there to deter people from driving on the land next to the road.
