Dave,

Do you want to run the Parc Mine trip (time, meet up etc.) and I will drum up a few more for support ...


Les,

Are you up for Friday (Parc Mine) and do you want to make a suggestion for Saturday?

Les,

Do you fancy OHA on Saturday?

Jason ... it's a Glacial cave; 11 hours from one end to the other and back (no chance of doing it all on the day). It is a grade 5 but prolly won't go past grade 3. Probably (need to confirm) will need SRT depending on how far the trip goes.

[quote="DaveT" post=34047]I could take them in Parc Mine, which is conveniently near - just a trip along level 2 and up to Endeans...
Might have to put a safety line over the 'rail traverse'  :cheer:

I'm out of the country so can't make it but the 1st rail traverse at the junction already has a safety line :)

Friday 24th is fine by me. Meet at the Hafna Car Park for 11.00.

Trip will visit all of level 2, the rise to Cwffty, Llanrwst New Shaft (to see the angle bob etc.) and another couple of areas which are a bit more awkward. Cowstails recommended. Be underground about 3 hours (more if lots of photos needed) so take butties. If people want to go down to level 3 then full SRT gear is needed - but note that this will make a very long day of it and accidents are more likely if people are tired.

Snakes and Ladders is on the Agenda, providing the weather is better...

Parc Mine for Friday works for me
I'm a very busy person

I will forward my number on to Ian later in the week in case anything changes, where we are staying has no 3g phone connection.

Be aware that mobile coverage in the Gwydyr forest area is really poor. I have been caught out by this when i tried to cancel a call out. There is a signal down the road in Llanrwst.

This is a description of level 2 etc. with a sketch map and the parking details

I have set up another thread with the Parc Mine trip (copied links etc) and circulated an email to all members past and present.

There are 5 people going so far (at the time of making this post) whom are all listed on the thread. I expect more to be added  ;)

If we can firm up a time and meet place for Snakes and ladders, I will do the same for that.

Sorry to jump in on this thread, but it does seem like there is a few of us around on this week, so we might be able to entertain our guests between us? I think that Rostam is also about this week?

I'm traveling up from London on the 19th

Tuesday - Alderley Edge helping to dig a new level
Wednesday - Zip world
Thursday - UCET caving - OHA!!!
Friday - Parc mine
Saturday - Not planned
Sunday - Not planned

Wouldn't mind nipping up a mountain at some point, I've never had a crack at Crib Goch....
