I'm half inclined to suggest going to look at the two coal mines on Anglesey - nothing to see underground, just some surface ruins, but always been intrigued to take a look... Probably not terribly exciting though. Or, could nip up to Cefn Du for a look (before they flood it!) or take a look at some of the pits above Glynrhonwy - Cook and Ddol. Or if it's a nice night take a look at some of the holes on the hill above Sygun. -- Half the lies you tell ain't true IP: 95.147.205.60

But then my car always "veers" off towards the Indian when I'm in that area..... ho-hum... Sygun area....I could try and arrange an early finish NEXT Thursday if we wanted to get up there a bit earlier, say 1600 hrs, due to the walk and the large area of ground to cover? Haven't been up there much myself but there a lot of ground to cover if I remember? -- Because it's a challenge.....it's a challenge for me and it's a challenge for the coracle.

You mean the chimney by Pentre Berw? I wasn't aware of anything else to see, apart from the remains of miners' cottages on the RSPB reserve. It's a pleasant enough place for a walk though, especially in the evening when the water birds are making a racket. And there's new-ish foot bridge across the Cefni replacing the narrow old one.

You can scramble down the side of the pit if you prefer. Last time I went we abbed in (off the fence) and scrambled out. Decent length of tunnel to look at as well, and wouldn't mind going for a look for the outside end of it. 6.30? -- Half the lies you tell ain't true IP: 217.35.224.214
