A new event has been added to the Events page.

Event name: Croesor Rhosydd Through Trip July 2010

Date & time: 03/07/2010 at 10:00

Details: A trip for competent SRT experienced people only and does not need much introduction.

We tend to do this as an AditNow trip once a year, so here it is again!

Croesor and Rhosydd slate mines were linked to settle an argument about whether one mine was trespassing on the other's territory. Both were. The route was explored in the 1980s and completed in the Rhosydd to Croesor direction on a floor now lost to flooding, and then in the opposite direction in the very early 90s.

Nowadays it is a well trodden route, with in-situ gear, however is still a trip not to be undertaken lightly. The through trip involves two abseils of around 80', two fixed zip-wire crossings, two dinghy crossings and two decaying bridges to cross.

This will not be a flat out end to end race, there are numerous artefacts and sites to see in both mines. Anticipate being underground for around 5 to 6 hours with an hours walk either side of that.

Maximum group size is set to 7 on this trip.

And a curry afterwards in Bleanau perhaps :)

Ah yes, excellent. Kicked myself for not doing this last year. 😉

Excellent indeed, chuffed to get on it this time. 😉

Heck, this trip has been up less than 24 hours and it's full already 😮

---

Less than 12hrs.

Probably because everyone I know who's been on it says its the dogs bits.

I'm really looking forward to this one.

Lawks!

I've not done this one for a while now 😞

It's lies I tell you, all lies :lol:

Missed out on this one yet again 😞

I know Vanoord is keen to come, he was muttering about it yesterday, so if there are more people interested it might be worth splitting into two groups and going through at slightly staggered intervals? Then at least we'd avoid sitting round getting cold while lots of people tackled the various obstacles one at a time.

---

That could work well, but it depends if you can afford to buy all the curry for two groups? 😉

I'm keen to join you if you have enough for a second group.

---

Vanoord, I think you're with a different party :lol:

And last one through pays for the curries. We're having a head start...

---

have fun all. It was all still there today! There was some interesting rigging in the chamber of horrors with the boats

If you are going to run a second party put my name down please.
