I'll PM Roy and ask about the extent of the SRT and if it's feasible for an evening trip. Hopefully the fires at Rachub will have gone out by then! http://www.aditnow.co.uk/album/Cwm-Ceunant-Slate-Mine-User-Album/ -- Half the lies you tell ain't true IP: 95.148.1.108

It's on 3 levels. Looks relatively easy to find, perhaps 15 to 20 minutes walk from the road leading off the A5 at the Life Foundation. Roy said to go in on the middle level, a traverse to rig with some interesting passage at the other end, then a 50' abseil to the bottom level. Pitch, and bottom level, are 'wet' Whether that means damp or neck deep we shall have to find out Want a go at it? Llion, Sinker, Skimble? Anyone else? -- Half the lies you tell ain't true IP: 95.148.1.108

Otherwise meet by the Life Centre. Is the "Flame Of Peace" still burning? Or did the "Gas Bill Of Life" arrive? 1800 ok for everyone? Skimble? -- O'r graig, egni. IP: 86.152.214.30
