[quote="Dylan" post=4579]Is this the winding gear your on about:

is so Joel is right its in Rhosydd.[/quote]

Just an update, My mistake, I've been told that isn't the same winding gear that Tony and llion discovered a year or two back, as the one they found requires SRT and is the 5 to 9 Incline. May give Tony a ring and try and find out what the rigging is like to get to the other one (if there even is any). It may be worth me brining my SRT kit as it still seems that they are the only ones that have seen it.

Dear Customer Service

Yours faithfully

Different Thread - i'll put a post in it to bump it up into the recent posts ;-)

I'm still coming, happy to show the way, but I may have to dart off up a rope with dylan, but he doesn't know that yet

[Dylan Roberts]

what clothing is recomended for tomorrow ?

[Ian A]

You don't need your caving suit but you can if you want. The mine is a slate mine with BIG passages and BIG chambers. You may get a little "scuffed" from the walls as you are bound to make contact.

I will be walking up to the mine entrance in wellies (it's a reasonable walk) as the water at the entrance will be about wellie depth - I am hoping it won't actually go over.

Make sure you have warm clothes for in the mine but you may "sweat like a trooper" walking up the hill to get to it.

Take lunch and a drink.

I recommend light gloves too (slate is sharp)

Is anybody having breakfast in the cafe before? I'll be there by 9.30 so I can have a good scoff

[Ian A]

Joel said he was getting there for 9:30am and I probably will too

[Dylan Roberts]

Can't beat a good greasy breakfast before that nice little walk :lol:

[Joel Colk]

My sack weighs a ton as usual.

Srt kit and camera equipment weighing me down. I certainly won't be racing anyone up the hill...
