I would like to visit bryn eglwys (both above and below) and also see the water wheel at ystrad einon, not sure if these can be added to the list or if anybody else would like to go 🙂

Hi all, I'm trying to pull this thread back to what trips people want, and when they'd like them. Please have we got any more kind volunteers to help organise any of these trips?

As soon as we've got someone happy to organise each trip, and I've agreed a date with them they can definately do I'll start putting them into the calendar so we can start getting an idea of numbers- when you register for the trips! :flowers:

Hi Rockchick,

I'm happy to organise the Sir Francis (+ possibly Old Gang) trip with Chris Twigg on the 17th June. Sounds like a much more comfortable time of year!

Happy to help sort out Nenthead as well although it's not really my stamping ground - sure Chris and I can sort something out between us unless there's any locals who want to take it on?

---

I would be happy to show people round Nent as well, but the Easter date is no good - need to do family things.

---

If you'd like to add Bryneglwys (suggested by Dan), I'll be willing to organise it.

---

I should be OK to lead Parys. Will need to rope in some others from PUG as I guess we'd have a good turnout. We normally limit 1 guide to 5 visitors since one or two places (for experienced explorers) take a bit of time to climb up/down to, eg to the wheelbarrow and could take an hour to get everyone up, 1 at a time, then down again.

Then there's the Mona - Parys through trip up to your necks in pH 2 water... :devil:

Cheers, Clive

Nice one, I would like to visit there again.

Me too. Go Clive!

Hi folks,
We've got very kind volunteers for most trips now with the exceptions of Coniston and CRTT (hint hint!!).

I hope I've managed to catch all the trip suggestions, I'm aware I seem to have a northern slant to these trips- can someone from the south suggest a specific place? :flowers:

Thanks all!

I'd be up for that!

It's on the list now :smartass:

I'm definitely going to try and make some of these :thumbup:

Go on then RockChick, put my name down for the CRTT.

---

OK, those willing to have a bath in pH2 water (Mona-Parys through trip) Sat 23rd Sept.

I'm facilitating and will do some of the leading with a few other PUG members - number of which depends on how many coming... Will need to know final numbers by beginning of Sept to organise sufficient guides.

;D

Hi Folks- trips are starting to get added into the calendar as they get finalised - don't forget to sign up! :flowers:

'Twll Mawr' down for all please. If they become over subscribed then I'll give way.

Parys & Mona... Rockchick asked me about BCA Insurance.

Yes, it's a requirement of the mine owner that anyone going in carries insurance so if you're coming, please bring your green cards.

However... If you don't have such, don't worry as we'll let you become a temp PUG member which covers insurance for 17 days (come again as many times as there is a PUG member with you) during that time for a tenner. We'll even let you upgrade to full membership and therefore BCA insurance, for a year for an extra £11. ;D

Alderley Edge keyholder here... I can help organise the September trip :thumbsup:

Re: Bryneglwys

As I volunteered to lead this one, I'd better think about making some arrangements.

25th Feb was suggested but that's a bit close to the Williamson's tunnels trip that I want to do, so can I have some votes for March 4, 5, 18 or 19?
Any preference?
