Hi all.
Working in the caravan industry can mean long hours and sometimes even moving to other parts of the country. Having familiarise myself with predominantly slate and some mineral mines in and around Snowdonia I moved to the north east and was lucky enough to do a couple of mines and natural caves in and around Stanhope, Weardale Valley. Now I'm back home here in North Wales and just bought a hose in Mochdre..... I'm looking for suggestions of places worth exploring in and around Mochdre (done the limestone mine). All recommendations and offer to tag along on any evening jaunts much appreciated.:thumbsup:

Oooooh my god! That's never the collapsed tunnel we toiled in. What an amazing job.... well done everyone. Did the tunnel reach where you had hoped for.... did you find anything? PM me. Miss you crazy Geordies and almost impossible projects!

Hi Llion.
Actually we have met very briefly. We were in seperate groups and bumped into each other in Cwmorthin...... must have been about 6 years ago if memory serves me right! also bumped into Ian off here at about the same time. I live at the end of Bryn Marl Road (Mochdre is not that big). Definately up for an explore. Dont mind if its an easy little wander or a full on SRT epic. Up for anything really.... as long as it's an evening jaunt (i work most days). Let me know if you have anything on [email protected]

Disclaimer: Mine exploring can be quite dangerous, but then again it can be alright, it all depends on the weather. Please read the proper disclaimer.
