A full SRT trip has been put on for Friday near Porthmadog.

Meet time is 12:30pm in Porthmadog - PM or ring me for details ...



Ian

Would that be on the 22nd ??????

Yep - that would happen to be the 22nd

The trip involves a VERY short walk up to middle adit (top adit is filled with water ). From there, it is ankle deep ONLY in water then about a 40-50m drop into narrow stopes and amazing false floors - and they are amazing . You come to a very small and short and narrow passageway and old miners dig and another drop about 20-30m. This drop is damp - at the bottom, you may get a trickle of water down your back (bit like a golden shower from about 20m up!)you come down and underneath a false floor. From here, the passageway is beautiful with ocher stals, mini gour pools, curtains starting to form, larger gour pools, orange cave pearls...... and ends in graffeti wall. The walk back down and then out is below wellie depth as we cleared it last time, just keep to the middle of the passageway and you'rl be fine .

This IS a really nice and very old mine. It has only ever been done twice before, once by someone way back in time and then by sum friends and myself.

At the moment there 5 others coming along (including ian) on this trip and 2 possibles. As ian says, if you want to come, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME, but please let ian know or me know 07795347037 and meet at Porthmadog tescos 12.30 tomorrow. It will be a fun trip.

BTW, there is a river for swimming in, and it is really nice as well:woohoo:

Love to come but I am commited to something tomorrow.
