Give us a shout if you're willing have someone tag along. Never gone into the mines but I'm sure I can keep up and I'm full of shits an giggles ‍♂️

Mind if I tagged along sometime too please guys?

 

[alex17595]

I'm probably going to stick with somewhere I know though, rather than do Maenofferen. I usually walk up to Rhosydd, go through the mine, climb out the quarry and circle back to the car park via Wrysgan. There is a way down through Wrysgan where you come out on the lowest level but I've only ever gone up it.

I've you've opened up your borders I'll pop along too. There are still some bits in there I would like to see.

Absoulty, we'll have to sort something out.

It’s a great mine I loved being their well worth it ! My favourite part at the lowest level go along to left and then right into the old old section

What a place ! Monk is the man to go with we had a cracking time ah mate ! I remember racing out up that main shaft lol

Was a good day that..
I'm sure I won that race

Will definitely sort something out for those interested, you'll want boots/decent walking shoes a torch and some sort of bump hat.

I assume you guys usually explore at weekends?

I live in the area so can usually make time, doesn't have to be a weekend.

 

[alex17595]

I usually work weekends which makes it a ballache to meet up with people sometimes.

Yeah I hear that, worked nearly every weekend last year, I'm always up for a trip to Maenofferen though so will happily go weekends or a weekday now.

 

[alex17595]

I'm going to be heading out early next depending on the weather, might even stop in the car overnight. Got some plans to cover some surface stuff as well.

I've got all the stuff good boots strong head light and a hard hat

Make sure you have a spare torch and gloves are useful as well. Also don't forget a tripod
