Fantastic, in that case I would like to be put down to attend.
All done 👍 see you there Kilian!

SJ25465200
Directions
The location lies on grassy slopes to the south of a public path which runs above the
quarry workings. There is a run in shaft with a barbed wire fence and the
cave is located at the back of the shaft.
Access
Ungated, North Wales Wildlife Trust seem to tolerate cavers/mine-explorers, but are not overly welcoming.
Suggested Equipment
None
Length
81m
Flood Risk
Unknown
Mine Attributes
None
Description
A small entrance leads to low passage which opens out as into large chamber. The continuation is
a low wet crawl which leads to a wider and higher passage with some formations. The passage then
becomes narrower and lower. It ends at a tee junction with sandy infill. This could be dug very
easily and there is plenty of space for stacking bags in the main chamber. There is a hole in
the floor just after the start of the wet crawl which may conceal another passage but is water
filled.
Unexplored Passages
None
Digs
None other than the initial breakthrough. Potential digs at end.
