[quote="mr B" post=9898]how are you fix for satarday ian can you put up the trip as iam no good at it[/quote]

Saturday is Poachers Cave - already listed on the forum and, oddly, you have your name down for it.

If you are able to be in two places at once I would be eternally grateful if you could let me know how you manage it as this would be a very useful ability to acquire.

[quote="Ian" post=9896]The two adits facing each other in the quarry is Ragman Mine and there is a connection in there to Llyn Ddu  [/quote]

From my **extensive research this is'nt ragman mine, it's simpaly a passage that links ragmans vein (to the left)and red vein (to the right) which were all part of the boundry workings.

ragman mine is in a different area and was infact a zink and silver mine.


**= i read a single paragraph of a page Andy scanned out of some old "pages starting to turn yellow" book he foundgod knows where.

[Ian A]

Cool ... I am sure you are correct.

Is the remainder accessible ?  

[Danny Sutton]

We gave up on the left passage due to water, Andy spent an hour on the right passage, he says it goes, but its silky tight as in he had to take off his helmet for at least 50m of it, when he got back to tell us it goes, he didn't want to do it again, so it was another one that needed more looking at

[Ian A]

Mmmmmm,

The passage full of water quickly becomes deeper and impassable - it must have been driven from the oppposite direction.

The dry passage does go a fair distance passing through a chamber first then becoming a "passage" again. It becomes low and knee pads are essential. It also has a number of holes in the floor which take you to small worked areas (some of which are very pretty).

One of the holes connects to Llyn Ddu.

It is a "mine" in it's own right .... I didn't think there was any more to it and I thought that was the extent of it. It is exciting to think there is more of it.

I didn't realise it went any further either. Interesting to know that it does. There are many holes in the Minera area that need to be looked at properly to be honest.

The connection to Llyn Du is slightly smaller than one "Glen"
