Must try and make it this time!

And will there be a trip schedule up soon? Cheers. 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

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

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.

To be clear, the event title is misleading in that it is actually a "conference and field meet" Most attendees will be there to go underground and there is a lot on offer. Also, as I said before I intend to see that nobody misses out. However there is an advanced SRT trip on the Sunday (Rosa/Pughs) that is restricted on numbers. I cannot help this its down to the nature of the trip. -- Looking forward to NAMHO 2019. www.cambrianmines.co.uk IP: 92.24.29.88 Edited: 22/05/2019 09:42:05 by royfellows
