Weekly plans 08/04/10

Hi All,
As I`ve been out of the loop for a week and that the UCET caving world is so fast moving in my absence - any ideas/requests anyone???

Ev

I believe I heard our illustrious Captain mumble something about Cabin shaft at Minera ........

(I might be wrong though)



Ian

......oh, and Welcome Back Hoss !



Ian

Evan,

Mike has confirmed Cabin shaft .... perhaps you could give him a bell and confirm arrangements. We also have a new recruit who lives on the doorstep of that mine who might like to come too (Andy) ....



Ian

Hi Ian et al
I'd be interested to come along as well if thats possible to meet you all .What does the trip comprise?
Cheers
Frank

Hi Frank,

The mine is in Minera but the meet place will be the Moors Inn at the crossroads between the road for Bwlchgwyn and Ruthin. I don't know the time yet (keep watching this thread for the trip organiser to post the details).

The entrance is a 40 foot shaft and we use an electron ladder to enter with a safety line (we will put a harness on you)....

The mine itself is extensive being an old lead mine with oodles of passages although some of them are quite "crawly". It will be reasonably exhaustive and I would expect us to be down for a couple of hours.

All things being equal you shouldn't get wet but that depends on where in the mine we go and I don't know the answer to that for sure .....

Keep watching this thread and hope to see you there ....



Ian

Whooaa!!
thought I was the only person up this early on bank hol. monday!!
OK I'm defo on unless something desperate comes up.
I've got a harness and most other stuff.
Looking forward to meeting you all
See you there
Cheers
Frank

The trip for this Thursday is now set for CABIN SHAFT at Minera ...

Meet time and place is;

The Moors Inn car park at the Bwlchgwyn/Ruthin jucntion on the Ruthin to Wrexham road (just before Bwlchgwyn).

The meet time is 7:00pm.

The entrance is a 40 foot shaft and we will be using an electron ladder and safety line for descent. Please let us know if you need to borrow any kit (lid, lamp, harness etc.)

You shouldn't get wet but I refuse to be held responsible or ridiculed if you do

(Sorry for butting in Mr Trip Organiser .... )

If you have any queries just let me know

Ian

Hi
I will be able to come to this cave on Thursday, its only about a 5 min drive away from my house.

I would need to borrow all the equipment needed such as a helmet and lamp if thats ok. But I am going to start looking for my own equipment soon.

Andy

No problem Andy

Ian et al
Just to let you know that I won't be able to make the trip on Thursday.
Cheers
Frank
