If Richards weather forcast is correct (his last one was!), then I may go sailing on Saturday and then join you on Sunday.  I can't be 100% certain yet though.  I was asking Richard if there is a chance we can drive the 'oversized Military' thing closer to the mine entrance through the forestry comm land to the West.  It would take the sweat out of the steep ascent.

John you can drive quite close if you go on the forestry road but I don't know if there is permission to do so.

John, I will have a look tomorrow to see if it is possible to get "the monster" somewhere near the mine. I will put a message for you on the website, whatever I find.

[Richard Sawyer]

[Danny Sutton]

Muke, you still ok for sunday morning about 9am?

[John Nicholson]

If Ali, Richard and Deano are all comming too then I am more likely to make the effort.  A 10.30 meeting time is a bit early for me to get there from Bangor.

Thanks Dylan.  It would be great if we can drive up to the top FC road.  Looking on Google maps street view it seems there is no gate where the track meets the A5, but the track into the forest may be gated further up.  The track itself looks well made up all the way to the loop at the end level with the spoil tips.

It is gated but it is open and there are a couple of the ways if it were to be locked. A standard car would be able to drive most of the way so your 4x4 would get there easily.
