Add to Favourites Rogue's gallery: Well, it's hardly surprising I went across first, given that this lot were on the other side... (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-27-10-2006-Croesor-Rhosydd-27-10-2006-011.jpg)
Add to Favourites IanCL on the wire: A slightly more lightened version than the other one. (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-27-10-2006-Croesor-Rhosydd-27-10-2006-012.jpg)
Add to Favourites SimonRL on the wire: I wish he would wear something without reflective patches: it wrecks photographs... (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-27-10-2006-Croesor-Rhosydd-27-10-2006-013.jpg)
Add to Favourites The Bridge of Death: The middle baulk involves this rather interesting rebelay from a safety wire to a traverse. And yes, that man did use that Figure of 8 to do the abseils and not one of those poncy 'Stop' thingies. Well 'ard! (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-27-10-2006-Croesor-Rhosydd-27-10-2006-014.jpg)
Add to Favourites A shy man on the wire: This traverse is much easier with Wormster's rather nice pulley. Ta, mate! (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-27-10-2006-Croesor-Rhosydd-27-10-2006-015.jpg)
Add to Favourites The Chamber of Horrors: One day I'll get a decent picture of this chamber, but I fear that the water causes a lot of moisture in the air. Well, that's my excuse anyway. The water looks quite appealing, doesn't it? It isn't, trust me! (Croesor-Rhosydd-Through-Trip-27-10-2006-Croesor-Rhosydd-27-10-2006-016.jpg)

Add to Favourites Ladder bridge - RIP: The rock pinning the ladder bridge is presumably the cause of the problem... (Dark-Places-Big-Bash-CRTT-10-08-2007-Image-019)

Add to Favourites Collapsed: A collapsed wall now fills this room. (Surface-Pictures-Image-004)
Add to Favourites Framed: Although the view through this old window is very scenic, it was probably less appealing on a wet November evening after a long day working underground. (Surface-Pictures-Image-005)
Add to Favourites Framed 2: There may be a nice contrast here, but I'd hazard a guess that the boggy bit pictured outside saw regular service as a latrine when this building was inhabited. (Surface-Pictures-Image-006)

Add to Favourites Close up: A close up view of the wall of one of the buildings - from the inside. The render has long gone, exposing the slate blocks this building was made from: it seems that it was built from waste rather than blocks cut to shape. There would have been no shortage of material.
