return to list Cambrian Slate Mine, Glyn Ceiriog

album A nice easy trip into Cambrian Slate Mine was organised by Ed this weekend where a good turnout was seen. Although said to be a bone dry mine Tom and Ed managed to find waist deep water and almost everybody found there feet wet. Ed found a dig at a collapse at the very end, turning his overalls from orange to grey whilst Pete C tried his new camera out. An interesting trip had by all and then a quick picture share was had down at the pub (forgetting the name). Thanks everybody. Tom
Nigel adds: We revisited the mine on 25th June and tried to see as much as possible following the old plans. Unfortunately, a quarter is flooded and about half is beyond the blockage that Ed was digging. However, we managed to get a few half-decent photos which are shown below and in the album.
 The dry entrance |  Out in the sunshine |  Lovely and clean |  Flooded workings in the eastern section |
 Large workings in the western section before the blockage |  Err, I think we're here! |  The metalwork which is (supposed to be) holding up the entrance to the western section |
Type of entry: Mining
