Ok, a bit of an adventure into the unknown this week...... 😢

Pingu has been exploring and has found a (possibly) uncharted hole 😮
It's either a shaft or an open stope but either way it looks interesting, so "Well spotted, that man".
Easy SRT in and out, and with workings appearing to lead off from it, there is the distinct possibility of something interesting lurking further below 😉
I'll leave it at that...no more speculation on the location is allowed! It's new ground, and that's an end of it!! :lol:
It's in the Garreg Llanfrothen area, so easiest to meet in the usual place, Penrhyndeudraeth car park, here:

at 1800 ish?

Any SRT novices who want to tag along are more than welcome, but let me know beforehand if poss so that I can arrange the small amount of spare kit that we have.

Usual suspects will be in attendance, all welcome!
@ Skimble / Blober....how are you fixed for transport?

See you all there. :thumbsup:

Yma O Hyd....

It's your find mate so that means you are the first down the hole....just let us know if you land in a dead sheep or something equally "inviting" :lol:

For the first drop we should be ok....trees etc. And I have tried out the new earth anchors today and can confirm that they work a treat. I had a good bounce on them and then tried to pull them out with the car....no probs!
Drill may be needed if we find anything lower down that we feel needs bolting up for the future? The bolt fairy has been again... 😉

skimble was expecting to be at Nenthead on Thursday evening but with this s>:(dding snow it's looking rather doubtful now 😢

If I go on the Magical Mystery Tour instead I'd appreciate transport. I'll confirm nearer the time.

The weather forecast for Nenthead hasn't improved 😞 😢 :curse: so I'll be joining you on Thursday instead 😉

Sinker, are you working on Thursday or will you be setting out from home?

Lord knows what might happen....I was snowed off half of Friday, back in Saturday, flooded out today, my crane has broken down.....I'll have a plague of locusts next!
Thursday, assuming I'm still sane, I shall probably travel straight to Penrhyn from Saltney...will let you know if this changes though.
A lift home won't be a problem :thumbsup:

You already know what we will find....I told you last week....

There will be central heating, it will be carpeted throughout, there will be Women's Beach Volleyball team practicing, Ali's titty bar, a quarry loco in steam all ready to go, £10M of WWII gold bullion and probably a calcified horse for good measure!

Now are you still sure that you can't make it? :lol:

Feck me!! with an attraction like that I'm almost tempted to hitch up and join you lot - however I think that it might just be a ruse!
