On the subject of Nyth-y-Cigfran.
I see that you can get thru to Oakley from this mine.
I presume exit from here isn't recommended as with other exits to Oakley?
Are there any access problems from the Balnaeu side?
Miles, the pics are on mine-explorer, thanks. hence the question.
Cheers

Yes there is a tunnel that connects the two, but it's not as exciting as it sounds. It's entirely isolated from the Oakeley we know and love, there being six floors of unknown ground between Nyth-y-Cigfran and the highest we've ever got in the middle quarry.
Access is fine at both ends.
There is (from memory) only really a few Oakeley chambers you can see, all pretty small and uninteresting, and there is no connection deeper into Oakeley that I can remember.
Now you mention it I think there *might* be a window into a big chamber coming up from lower floors, so bolting and abing that might get into Hollands proper. But there are a number of holes to bolt up there, we need:
1) a fine day
2) lots of swmbo tokens
3) Simon and his big drill
4) a looney who will do anything (Vanoord?)
