Event name: Moel Fferna Trip May 2012 Date & time: 11/05/2013 at 10:00 Details: Open invite trip to Mel Fferna. Moel Fferna is a spectacular mine with plenty to explore and photograph. The entrance pitch will be rigged for SRT and with an electron ladder. So whilst not strictly an SRT trip you'll need to be happy climbing up and down an electron (wire) ladder whilst lifelined.

They will be needing the use of the electron as they don't srt. -- Rwy'n hoffi tyllau mawr IP: 86.191.128.170

I've not been for a good few months, but either it's gone very bad, very quickly, or it's being exagerrated. To be on the safe side, if I bring some bags, can we make an effort to pick up anything that we see that shouldn't be there? I'll volunteer to figure out how to get it up and out, and dispose of it properly. -- In your mines, Taking your pictures... Searching for the ever elusive Underground Titty Bar. IP: 86.149.177.248

There is an overhang at the bottom which was laddered a few years ago, makes access much, much easier. You still need SRT or Electron ladders to get in and out but the bottom 12 feet or so used to be a right pain and made it very slow to get a group out. IP: 2.126.253.92

So you need to abseil / electron down around 30 feet and climb down the remainder on the fixed ladder. IP: 95.147.205.125
