thats the one, we manufacture irata and rescue equipment amongst other things.

A lot of industrial access gear is a bit too heavy and clunky for mining and caving and a lot of it doesn't like getting clogged up with slime, mud and grit. You can never have enough static rope though.....;)

It'd be nice to give some of it a try though. I'd certainly be up for a look into that shaft.

We should ask the person who built their website to hit on them for a discount..... :angel:

As i work for I.S.C, i have an unlimited supply of equipment, so a trip down this shaft is a must. Anyone interested ?

Works for me :thumbup:

good luck with that one,she's an iron lady, heart and sole.
As for the weight issue,yes it's heavy but it does'nt fail.
And due to past experience i won't use ally krabs in metal mines, they have a habit of reacting with the acidic water commonly found there. Copper and lead salts kill ally very quickly.

With the Nantlle one. I think there's also an adit under the road.

there MAY be an adit under the road at nantile - but when richard and i [ UCET ] went for a recce and explore - we didnt find one

however we did find an engine shaft under the road - a very curious set up - located :

https://binged.it/2yHLKmG 

the hole is almost exactly the mid point of the 2 " b4418 " markers

bbelow the small reservoir - is obvious signs of disused mnine workings that ther farm has partialy " overgrown "

however - the retaining wall for the road " looked odd " - so we investigated - discovering a hole with an arched roof under the road - about 5m wide and 4m in

upon retuning to our vehicles - richard produced a book from his box of usefull things - and concluded that it was a capped engine shaft

there are several adits and stopes south of the b4418 - that we explored with mixed sucess - several required extra rigging and or a skilled climber - so we left them - but there are walk in adits - and one shaft that gave an easy 23m drop to nice workings

w started off at the eastern end - and the quality of explorable holes diminished once past the chapel [ plus we were geting tired - and losing the will ]

so yup - nantile is worth a look

the adit under the road is the drws y coed mine and the one by the chapel is the one i thought was called smyddun du mine, but i got the name wrong. Drws y coed has a neat little round trip as does the other. Both require pre-rigging for SRT and or abbing.
