Howdy Doody,

Here are the details for our next Thursday night trip;

Rhyd Alyn /  The Milwr Tunnel
This is a trip through Rhyd Alyn down to the tunnel at least to the pumping station. We will attempt to meet up with a UCET contingent that will already be down there (from 8:00am) â€" we’ll see how far we can getThere are some holes in one adit level with fixed ropes to assist (you should consider using cow’s tails across these) and you do need to be fit to get back up the ladders (about 24 of the buggers â€" it’s a long way down). You will get wet.

Location : Rhyd Alyn
Meet Place : Car Park by the old Chapel
Meet Date : Thursday 2nd June 2022
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm onwards
Suitability : Not suitable for 1st time novices unless very fit and responsible
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves, (cow’s tails)

Nearest Postcode : CH7 5NJ

The trip involves a substantial amount of adit passageway (perhaps a kilometre in total), the entrance will see water go over your wellies and the level after the first section of ladders will see water over your knees. Going down 24 ladders isn’t so difficult â€" going back up them is â€" please keep that in mind.

If you would like to come, please register your interest on the UCET Forum. No worries if you don’t know.

Thanks !

See you soon…..

I will be able to make this one.  Will be the first time I've been in the Milwr Tunnel since the before the first lockdown.

[David Kinzett]

I'm planning on being there.  Think I'm at parc In the day.  so if all goes to plan.  I'll drive up and come and meet. Will be good to get on a group trip in a new hole lol  

[Gregory Collins]

As I am driving all the way down to Northamptonshire for the Boat Show first thing Friday morning, I am now thinking of going over to Loggerheads instead as the Rhyd Alyn trip is a major undertaking and we may not be out of that one until late.  If there is no room on the Loggerheads trip I'll still be able to make Rhyd Alyn.

[Paul]

Hope to make it!

[James Hutchins.]

I’ll be joining.
