Hamster and I am planning a trip to Cwmorthin on Sunday 5th October meeting at the cafe at around 10.00am.

I think it will be a general poke around possibly looking in more detail at things which get missed

Anyone what to join us? 🙂

Yep, I'm in!
Café, big breakfast, huff & puff up the hill, lazy wander. Sounds fine.
Actually I'll bring my shovel and finish cleaning the steps down to B off the OVI.

Hello Sinker

One of the bits I had in mind was around chamber 28 beyond the hurdles, discussed this area a couple of months back, but never been there. Also the Z chambers under Cwmorthin. What with so muich to see, have missed this bit for some reason, probably because I always run out of time!

Thought it would be a worth a little look. Nothing ambitious of anything as my SRT is rusty at the moment, having had little time to practice.

Looks like I will have another couple of people as well,who know Cwmorthin.

By the way, What are you doing with the steps? 🙂

The Thursday Nighters had a go at cleaning up the steps a few months back but the job was left around 95% complete due to running out of time :lol: Just a bit of clearing and sweeping required to finish the job. Always seem to pass them on our way somewhere else, never have time to stop!

See you next Sunday! :thumbup:

Won't mind helping out with the steps if there's time and the others want to join in too for a little while.

Those are nice steps down that chamber to the west of the OVI

(I help out with a mine dig and survey in Surrey most weekends)

Doooh! Never thought to ask publicly on here... I'm doing Cwm on Saturday 4th - taking some of my curious work colleagues around with Willy Eckers as main guide. Same time, 10am but at the car park before the gate. Got room for a couple more due to drop-outs if anyone's interested - just a gentle amble around the usual sites of interest (minus 8E of course..!)

Hi Clive

I was going to come along with you and Eckers on the 4th but I have now been "booked in advance" by my owner (Mrs Sinker 😉 ) to carry out some essential maintenance work at the in-laws. Hence I'm not free the Saturday but have Green Light for Sunday. Next time :thumbup:

Sorry to here that Mr Sinker. My owner has let me out on special licence for Saturday only...

Another trip in planning for sometime probably around Christmas / New Year (if not before) as two who dropped out - Immediate Boss and Big Boss still want to come plus my two lads also want to see what all the fuss is about so I'll drop a note on here nearer the time.

Cheers

The Saturday (4th) trip is now fully subscribed! (With some of the well-known FoC, AN and Thursday Nighters joining in...).

Hopefully my work colleagues will be truly awestruck by Cwm's treasures and secrets! :thumbsup:

He's right ;)

It's not bad really, I don't mind it.

Now, Wrysgan is fun to get to. I think I managed it in a decent time for someone who smoked around 40 a day at that point.
