Thursday 23rd August

[John Nicholson]

CURRENT STATUS ON ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS EVENING....

Will everyone meet at Cilcain Bridge 6.30pm.  We can then sort out who goes where with whom.  Choices are...

1) Deep dig / repair collapse at bottom of Rhyd Alun
2) Easy trip in OHA.  Wet and slippery and some scrambling but no SRT.

It seems we may have...  
John N, Toby, Sasha, Bella, Tom + friends, Dylan, Ian, Doug, Badger, Howyl (I don't know who this is?), Ali Wiseman, Deano, Vikki.

We will also do Hendre Spar Mine meeting at Royal Oak, Hendre at 2.30 to 3.00pm.  Easy walk through trip with lots of secured ladders.

We are about to leave Bangor, so can't receive any more messages.

---------------------------------------

I will have Bella (15), and my grandchildren - Sasha and Toby (aged 16 and 14).
Can anyone suggest a suitable trip?  They did Poachers last year.

How about OHA to the precipice.  Is Hendre Spar mine still open?

We could do both because we plan to be in Flintshire most of the afternoon.

[Ali Wiseman]

*If* I can get to/from the Spar mine, I'll happily come along. I want a few more pictures from there, and wouldn't mind a Peek at the water level.

[John Nicholson]

OK New-stuff  ( I do wish you wouild use your real name and picture so I know who I am chatting to).
We may do Hendre in the afternoon, and then have chips somewhere and then do the official trip.
Watch this topic for updates!

I think there is an intention to return to Rhyd alyn as well. If you want to go down OHA then you may need someone compitent to life line your family down the electron on entry/exit.

 I am away this week so please all arrange your trip on here?

Mick- are you digging this week?

That's not happening I am afraid John. I am, and always will be, NewStuff on an Exploration/Mine/Caving website.

If You look to Your left though, there is a List of Online Users that lists real names as well as Forum ones, and should help You out if You're having trouble remembering who I am.

[John Nicholson]

Thanks Hoss, But I am sure I must not be the only person who gets totally confused by disguised avatar names.  Until last week I had a totally different person in my mind when I was reading posts from Mad-Dan.  I also thought Little Joe was Tom from Derbyshire CC.

I don't want to divert the theme of this topic though, and welcome your guidance on trips for this comming Thursday. Exam results will arrive, so I expect Bella will spend some time in the morning with friends, but I hope we can get over to Flintshire to do a mine (either Belgrave or Hendre) between 3.00pm and 5.0pm.  Then get something to eat before the 6.30pm trip.

Sasha and Toby are fine on electron ladder - and I now have one.

[Stephen Bailey John]

Me and two others at least are looking to get underground on Thursday evening, we've spoke mildly about an evening wander in OHA. I'd be happy to explore without the means of a fixed 'leader' with aid of leaving some shiny markers I've got. But of course, if anybody here is at a slightly loose end in not knowing what's what - you're welcome to come help find our way around.

Yes TLH, I do apologise.  I thought you were 'Little Joe'.
I do wish that folk would post their real names and a recognisable picture.
I have enough difficulty remembering names as it is, so the task is many times more difficult if everyone has two names and two images.

I can understand why some people want to hid behind an avatar when they are on different types of forums, but UCET is a group of friends who want to share their enjoyment of underground exploration.  Surely we don't need to hid behind avatars?
