This Thursday we're having a nice stroll around Llyn Cwmorthin to Gonglog slate mine.
http://www.aditnow.co.uk/Mines/Conglog-Slate-Mine_1010/ 

This is a smallish but very photogenic mine suitable for all abilities. We have a mind to abseil down one level for a mini through-trip, but you won't miss much if you'd rather keep your feet on the ground.

Meet at the Cwmorthin car park around 6.15pm, here:

All welcome, newbies, oldies and everyone else.

I have it on good authority that said Thursday Nighter appreciates the sentiment and is enjoying a bottle of Brains SA Gold. :thumbsup:

Hope to see you Owt. We won't be in any great rush, so you'll probably catch us up even if you are a bit late.

Seriously good trip! 😉 Been on my hit list for a long time. Many IA relics which means you can interpret how it was worked - on the cheap with mixed rail types, even in the same panel where one side was bar rail, the other tee bar or bridge! Plus some mysteries to solve where what's present doesn't match official plans. Return visits required needing SRT and some bolting to solve these mysteries.

The BFf miners must all have lived on Dundee marmalade - even here remains of pottery pots!
