UCET Thursday Trip Advisor

Howdy Doody,

Here are the details for our next Thursday night trip;

Location : Pearl Shaft
Meet Place : Halkyn Quarry
Meet Date : Thursday 5th Aug 2021
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves, cows tails (optional)

Link to Parking: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.2433576,-3.2197111,3a,75y,267.97h,74.16t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sAjh4VxjSoOa6Dz2yfadRXg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=en-GB

This is the turning immediately after the main quarry entrance. It doesn’t look quite the same now, there is a high wire fence in situ but the lane is obviously still there.


Notes : This is a lead mine with a fixed ladder entrance pitch of, around, 40 feet. Once down, some of the passages are a little squeezy. There are a couple of short, rope assisted areas. There is also an area of crinoids (if you know where to look) as well as a nice sphalerite vein (again, if you know where to look). You will get muddy.

Suitable for novices with some experience, not suitable for debut cavers.

If you do fancy coming, please could you let me know either by replying to this thread. No worries if you don’t know.

Thanks !

See you soon…..

Greg, I've mentioned this before, why do you cave in North East Wales? There is mud, it is a feature of these caves and mines.
Or is it that you just come for the beer...  :unsure:

Good Morning you lovely people. Thomas and myself unfortunately will not be attending this Thursday evening, we are attempting to breed our Collie, and mother nature has decided that the time is now, so we will be having a doggy date tonight
