Trip this weekend 1st/2nd September

[Ian A]

Or .... have a look on Aditnow or Mine-Explorer both of which have huge knowledge banks of their own  B)

[Vikki Sestan]

Booooo :-( i can't do this weekend but have fun wherever you go x

[Alison Webster]

Thanks Ian
Penarth or Cambrian sound good. whichever is the longer trip?  

[John Oh]

What about
 
Rhiw Bach Mine - if we can get access - is this possible at short notice Ian?


or

Clogwyn y Fuwch Mine & Klondyke Lead mine

[John Nicholson]

Rhiw Bach - I have not done that one, and don't know where it is.
I have done the Klondyke adits and the short slate mines that you have to climb up to from the Crafnant carpark.  Nice countryside and a sickeningly good climb.

[John Oh]

Penarth could be good too. I want something easy as I indent to take my camera

[Alison Webster]

I have not done Rhiw Bach either.
That's ok for me.

So Rhiw Bach if we can get access or Penarth if not?

Ian can you post meet time and place please?

[Ian A]

Ooooooh suddenly lots of suggestions ....

Rhiw Bach mine is currently a "No No". This is the mine that Miles uses for his Go Below business - I don't imagine Miles would mind but Gethin also has an interest in the mine and he just refused Crazy Claire access on request. Given the current politics I have no wish to be awkward so we should leave that one.

Penarth is about 2 hours, possibly a fragment more - longer if John is taking piccies  

Cambrian is wet and possibly the same length of time

Klondyke is short and the slate mine above is also short - both better for a day wading up streams having a splish splosh in good weather

Sooooo .... I would suggest Penarth ....

Meet time doesn't need to be early so shall we say 11:00am with some sandwiches for lunch.

Meet in this layby here;

Done !   See you there  B)

[Alison Webster]

Great!
See you at 11.  

[John Nicholson]

Should we invite Dylan - as it is his home patch?

[Ian A]

Yes if you like, I am certain he has been in a few times  :blink:

[John Nicholson]

I don't know Dylan's phone number, but as Club Sec I guess you must have it. He wanted to show us around his home mine one day. Apart from which, Dylan is always fun to be with!

Is the mine itself far from the lay by meeting place?  If necessary, I can take everyone up to it in the truck.

[Ian A]

The layby is where we park to walk to the mine John .... there is no way to drive up to it sadly.

 :unsure:
