DaveT OFFLINE Posts: 326 Thank you received: 147	When we had a look, the hole before the main shaft was about 28m deep and we managed to rig from a big tree with a 33m rope. The main shaft a short distance away may be a tad deeper, but you should manage with 35-40m rope max. Looks like a big (but worthwhile) dig to me - Might need careful management of spoil Would be interested to hear about what you find... Dave

Two potential new members turned up after seeing the trip posted on the forum. (some of you may remember Adrian who joined us for a trip to Mochdre mine, Poachers and a project we were working on near Maeshafn) I have just emailed a link to the membership form to him, as him and his son are interested in joining.
