NAMHO Conference 2019
Posted: 05/02/2019 19:03:10 Reply | Quote This sounds really great, especially the geology, which my main interest when I go underground. Must try and make it this time!  Sadly, so far, I've never managed to get to a NAMHO conference -- 'I wonder how many breakfasts, and other meals we have missed inside that nasty clockless, timeless hole?'

Already answered royfellows wrote: You do whatever you want but have to book onto the trips. As the lectures are on Saturday and Sunday along with the trips its impossible to do both, but a half day trip could enable attending the lectures on the other half. Thats the problem of course, you cant do both, but can work in a talk you want to hear with a trip on the same day if you play your cards right. The talks are fairly accurately timed which helps. -- Looking forward to NAMHO 2019. www.cambrianmines.co.uk IP: 92.23.160.152 |

NAMHO Conference 2019
Posted: 06/02/2019 10:57:16 Reply | Quote Henfwlch I have been working things out re a possible round trip and noting that the no 1 winze which takes water is only vertical for 8 metres before it picks up a slight underlie. This makes it feasible to build a small concrete dam and duct the water down the vertical section using heavy duty PVC pipe. This would make a reasonable, easy grade SRT, then a very short traverse, maybe plankway, to the packwall bank and then back up the handline in Waterfall Stope. I can do this. -- Looking forward to NAMHO 2019. www.cambrianmines.co.uk IP: 92.23.160.152 |

NAMHO Conference 2019
Posted: 12/02/2019 09:22:21 Reply | Quote Lecture program update Mine exploration as a research tool - applications in mining history, geology and archaeology Mine exploration, using speleological techniques, takes the researcher into a new and potentially rewarding aspect of mining history and archaeology. It also provides a very different view of the geology and mineralogy to that seen at surface. The lecture programme at NAMHO 2019 seeks to provide an insight into the research potential for mine exploration and those who use their speleological / caving skills to access abandoned mines. Offers of papers have already been received which will provide a broad coverage of the subject - from Cornwall to North Wales. Mine exploration has provided an insight into many aspects of past underground activity from prehistoric copper working to medieval quarrying. There will also be papers on the benefits of mine surveys, on firesetting, on mine exploration on Mendip, and on the post-medieval / modern mines of the Gwydyr Forest, in North Wales. And, as the conference location is rich in underground archaeological and geological evidence, there will be detailed accounts of the mines of the Rheidol and Yswyth valleys. Nevertheless there is still the opportunity to include further papers. If you would like to offer a paper please contact Peter Claughton - p.f.claughton@exeter.ac.uk or ring 01437 532578 -- Looking forward to NAMHO 2019. www.cambrianmines.co.uk IP: 92.23.160.152 Edited: 12/02/2019 09:25:35 by royfellows |

This will give opportunity for delegates to catch any lecture program that interests them as well as fit in the best underground trips.

I have just changed jobs and start at the new place on Monday. One of my first actions will be to make sure I have the holiday booked for NAMHO
