Howdy Doody,

Here are the details for our next Thursday night trip;

Easy to navigate, this sumptuous underground delight is on two levels and contains one of the most photographed slate inclines in North Wales (see the forum link or the facebook page)

Notes : This mine has suffered a lot from graffiti vandalism. It has been suggested that you might like to bring a wire brush to assist in the removal of this paint. That’s a choice for you ….

If you do fancy coming, please could you let me know either by replying to this email or posting to the forum (link above). No worries if you don’t know.

Thanks !

See you soon…..
