Trip Type: General mooch

Meet time: 19.00

Meet point: The Moors Inn car park, Bwlchgwyn

[Joel Colk]

I'm out. I left my caving gear in someones car, and it's gone to Manchester...

[Ali Wiseman]

Haha, Sods law strikes again!

I see a "local" trip, and I can't get a Babysitter...

I'll keep trying, but it's not looking good.

[Tim Watts]

I'll be there - will bring a ladder

Anyone thinking about srt'ing to the turk? I've never been.

[Ian A]

The gate to Grand Turk is now open Tim - no need to go through Minera.

I would suggest that Grand Turk be a trip on it's own merits - it is a 5 hour + trip to go through Minera and do Grand Turk and go back.

Should get away with two electons instead of SRT but don't quote me on that

[Ian A]

It's also worth pointing out that Minera is very mineral rich and is a veritable warren of passages. It is a very interesting trip in its own right and is much bigger than time will allow for on a Thursday evening.

Knee pads essential !



Ian

[Tim Watts]

sounds like a plan - just minera it is then - whos leading?

[Ian A]

Depends who is going and where everyone wants to go - there are multiple routes

Also, I would suggest a lifeline for anyone is is not comfortable on a free-hanging 30 foot electron ladder

Ian

[Tim Watts]

ian, as i'm not sure who is is going, i'll bring ladder and lifeline.

[Dean Wood]

I shall be there

[John Nicholson]

I hope to come.  Thanks for the map Tim. Lifeline please, as I am not expert (yet) on free electrons, but the more practice I can get the better.  I will have SRT belt to hang my life on.

[Tony Adams]

I'll be there :cheer:

.... You know what he means and I think it is perfectly reasonable to use a belt under the circumstances
