Water and SRT are not mandatory Bob, it's still worth a visit.

Sorry to let you guys down but i' m aching all over from 3 days in Cwmorthin and after I lit the log burner in our cottage yesterday afternoon I crashed out on the sofa and didn't wake up until 8pm.

Hope you all had a great trip anyway. Bob

It's a round trip, from the people who bought you, er, lots of round trips :lol:

Decent abseil in and then 3 (?) boat rides or swims back with the option of making that 5 (?) swims if you want to go a bit further into the mine :)



5, correct! :thumbup:

I've never managed to find a decent map of Diffwys though, so not sure of chamber numbers? Perhaps we should name them?
We have "Frog Incline", " Deflated Rachel Chamber", "Llion's Chamber of Cramps", "The Chamber of The Eternal Lost Sinking Flipper", "Hymac's Chamber of The Eternal Floating Banana". And the return route across the first chamber should be called "She's going down....paddle faster!!!" :o

Good memories from Diffwys now I come to think about it!! :thumbup:

@ Bob: Do you have SRT gear with you??



Amazing to know my 'banana' is still there. I thought it would have sunk straight away. And my sunken rachel is still there since 1995!!;D

And the adit needs draining again.... Worth a mention seeing as you did such a fine job of it last time.....;D

Oh and by the way, remember the frog that we saw at the top of the flooded incline? Well it's been very busy over the last few years.....there was about 20 of them on Thursday! :lol:
