It took me longer than that to ab down but that was probably because of the brown trouser factor.

Hey there joydivisionovengloves

For sure there's spaces left on this trip 🙂 You're welcome to bag one!

Can't guarantee they'll let you SRT though, I think it's winch only.

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

Meet up here:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Minera,+Wrexham&hl=en&ll=53.048544,-3.119565&spn=0.002064,0.007703&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=16.5235,46.450195&vpsrc=6&z=18

It's above minera- towards world's end on a small single track road, it's fairly obvious as there are rough tracks around clear workings. park on the road in the passing places (bad i know but there's no other options.) there are more passing places further up the road. if you struggle- drive up and down the road till you see a red micra- then follow it as i drive in circles!!!

if folks could give us a hand setting up the scafold for the winch that would be really appreciated. :flowers:

See ya saturday!

Meeting at 10am.

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

Important note folks: don't forget (it's in the event details!) to take your BCA card as the NWCC will want to see it.

And also remember they ask for a bit of a contribution towards the annual cost of running the winch.

I think there's still a space or two left if anybody else wants to bag one.
