hi, im kev, newish member, long time miner, ive spent a lot of time in Cwmystwyth mines almost 15 years ago now.

im wandering if anyone can give me any info on a mine located at 52.664101, -3.843588
as it does not appear in the database, although it is on some older maps and mentioned in a few old books too. any info would be awesome.

warmest regards to all fellow mine explorers 🙂

it is wot it is. perhaps we delved too deep!

Ah, that looks familiar, we explored the upper levels of this few years back IIRC Simon?

Is this the one that you ended up going down that dodgy slope into the lower-level, courtesy of chasing after your car keys?!! :tongue:
