Sunday 16th Sept - Penarth Mine Trip

[John Nicholson]

Dylan - Can you explain the 'other ways' to get to the upper track - if the FC gate is locked? Or send a map edited somehow.

When I get a chance tomorrow I will try and do one for you John

[John Nicholson]

Thanks again Dylan.  It would be great if you can join us on Sunday.

You can get very close to the mine via forestry track.

Marty convinced me to take my old Audi up that way a few years back. The sump was scratched all over. Never again :p

I'm the newbie - looking forward to my first trip with you guys. Be gentle!

[Ian A]

Be gentle with a rugby player ?   :unsure:

[Welsh Lass]

Girl rugby!!!

Here is a map of the esiest way to get close to the mine by driving:


Here is an alternative:

[Joel Colk]

guys, make sure you go in a 4x4 if you chose to take the track. It will take longer to drive up to the mine that way, than it would if you just walked directly up to the mine.

The road is awful

[John Nicholson]

Thanks Dylan.  Your maps are brilliant!
I have managed to copy and print filling an A4 sheet so we should not get lost.  I will probably try both ways.

Joel - you should know better than to take suggestions from Marty.  Always remember it is your car and you are the driver.  If you mishape the sump pan then you will get oil leaks that are very difficult to repair.

It will be interesting to try the 101 off road for a bit!  Seems like we will have a hearty group tomorrow!

[mike leahy]

lets just hope you don't tip the 101 on the bone shaker road, your 4x4 looks a little top heavy especially with it having such a hight road clearance  :woohoo:  :woohoo: . don't forget to get ian to video the drive up there, it will add to the atmosphere, especially with the GIRLY screams you will get off ian
