Thanks Simon, it certainly sounds like it!

What's the consensus, folk?
Do this and postpone the housework for another week.
or
Save this for another day, do the housework and have a look down the scrambly chamber immediately before the Lost Kingdom, plus anything else that takes the fancy.

unfortunately I have no ascender either... I could just wait at the top and explore other areas 😛

jeg elsker Norge, landets dialekter, folk, landskap og naturen!

I'm in for this weeks trip & my vote goes for the big 7E drop.

I've had this one on my 'to do' list for too long & you get to see parts of Cwm which are seldom visited.

Great trip guys thanks for the GREAT turn-out! Largest number of mine explorers that the Thursday Nighters have seen for quite a while....or ever, even!
Good to meet a couple of new faces, or to put faces to names should I say, you're welcome anytime :thumbup:
Home before the Shipping Forecast too.... :lol:

@Pingu: I'll sort it out tomorrow and see what it needs 😉

See some/all of you next week :thumbup:

A grand night out.

A few photos - didn't take many :(

The bridge over 7E:

Rusted bridge support:

The graffiti in the compressor chamber (same stencil is sprayed onto the air receiver at the Cwmorthin end of Lefel Ffrench).

🔗Cwmorthin-Slate-Mine-User-Album-Image-92833[linkphoto]Cwmorthin-Slate-Mine-User-Album-Image-92833[/linkphoto][/link]

Would like to get back down there at some point to take some more photos - particularly of that bridge that never was in 5E.
