Saturday 26th January - GOLD MINE

[quote="JohnNicholson" post=13530]Bella is not available on the week after.  
Vikki did not know this when she suggested the different date.[/quote]

Just to clarify I know nothing about any of this to be honest.

However lets try and focus on making sure things run smoother for future trips.

I will speak to Tim and see if we can have the calendar on a separate tab on the forum so people aren't searching through the forum for it.

John - if you could let me or dan know the dates Bella is free and trips you'd like we can put these on the calendar if that helps :-)

The calender is a "Sticky" and is stuck at the top of the trips thread along with the "wish list".

It will be found first by looking at the trips thread or recent topics (which is why is was made sticky)

I know Ian but most people just pull up recent posts and it's two pages back if they do this.

Don't worry, I've thought if an easy way for Tim to do this so I can just ask and see what he says.

[John Nicholson]

Thanks for your very sensible approach Vikki.

As in many divorce settlements, it was agreed that I will have Bella every other weekend, and every Wednesday evening. She is also with me about half of her school holidays.  As you know she really loves cave and mine exploring, and is very upset if there is nothing arranged that she can join in with on the days she is with me.  Life is so booring without any mine to be in.  

I can also see the time is fast approaching when she will want to be company of her own age, and will not want to be seen in the same street as her 'ole Dad'.  I am surprised that she has put up with me for so long.

I have Bella next weekend 26 - 27 Jan, and then every other weekend.

I will post trips we plan to do, so anyone else can join us.  I would like to do some of the mines nearer to us with Ian's guidance, Snowdon Secret Mines - Cwm Bleiddiaid and Lliwedd mines, Dwrs-y-Coed Copper Mine(s?), Rhyd Ddu slate mine.

Bella would also like to do as a weekend trip Maeshaffn and Bog Mine - when it is dry enough to walk the lower passage.

Trip cancelled due to threat of bad weather.

weather was'nt that bad john, tim and i went climbing in the devils kitchenand only started raining lightlt about 4.00 oclock     . sorry to hear your trip cancelled

[John Nicholson]

Yes, it was actually very mild this moring, but is frightful now.  We should have gone, but other people were not keen because of the threat of bad weather.

I wish we had known that you were in Devils Kitchen because we could have come over to see you.
