UCET TRIP ADVISOR 23RD APRIL 2026

GARREG BOETH MINE

Hi all,

Our Thursday night trip on the 23rd of April will be to Garreg boeth in hendre, a lead mine with interesting old workings. The mine was worked in the 18th and 19th centuries, and then later worked as part of the South Halkyn & Rhydymwyn mine. Keep an eye out for the great geological formations the mine has to offer, including Gower pools, dogtooth crystals and the underwater 'volcanoes' along the floor.

This trip will involve plenty of crawling, mud and waist deep water!

Suitable for newer members

Location: Garreg boeth
Meet place: https://maps.app.goo.gl/RP3tdwTXZEuoPKmZ8
Date:23rd April
Time 18:30
Kit: helmet, lamp, kneepads, wellies, gloves, oversuit etc

A minor software update has been released which updates the SMF from the current 2.1.6 to 2.1.7.
The update is mainly security and bug fixes.

Past experience has shown, despite the published blurb, that this is not a simple '1 click' operation and so I am in the process of testing the update on a separate server using a recent dump of the production website. I hope to complete this in the next few days. Once I am happy this will work OK then I will schedule downtime on the UCET website to rebuild and reload it - this will take about 1/2 day.

I will announce the upgrade date a few days before it takes place.

Cheers,
Dave
