Hi Earth Worm Jim.

Last time I checked you were on the list?

Certainly there are spaces left, there was so much demand that we'll go in two separate groups (otherwise there'll be too much standing around getting cold whilst crossing the bridges, zip wires and watery bits), but there a some spaces left yes 🙂

Thanks for the reply, I'll stick my brother down for the non-SRT but he may do the SRT bit.

If he's a member of aditnow he should be able to put himself down on the list, if not then he should probably think about signing up to the forum, it is free afterall. It is my understanding, correct me if I'm wrong Simon, that most of these trips are intended for aditnow members as a first priority 🙂

No strict requirement, but it does make life a lot easier to tell who's coming on a trip, especially if (as is usually the case) numbers are limited.

Ah, no absolute requirement to be a member. We've had plenty of trips where people have bought friends or family along and it's fine just as long as one of us knows in advance, just to keep tabs on numbers :)

The one instance where people being signed up really does help is when arranging quite a few of these trips and meet ups each year is that it just makes the admin easier - I can print the trip page and know who to expect ;)

But we never have (and never will) impose a hard and fast rule saying people have to be a member. It's nice if people do join the site, but for my part it's mostly about meeting people, enjoying the mine expo experience and going to new places. :thumbsup:

Is anybody able to suggest a good campsite somewhere in the Betws/Ffestiniog area?
By good I obviously mean one with a decent pub within staggering distance.

Ta!

there was a subsidiary party on a previous trip, doing a walk-in at the two ends. I'm not interested in the SRT element, I don't do SRT, but I'd be interested in the look-see part if anyone else is


I would be for the the overland trip as long as it is not belting with rain.
