UCET Trip Advisor - x2 TRIPS

Next Thursday's trip will consist of x2 TRIPs. Both at the same location: Pearl Shaft & Thorntree shaft.
Pearl Shaft will be a 'walkabout' mine with some squeezes and is considered sporty.
Thorntree will be for competent SRT cavers & members only and will be limited to 10 places MAX.

Meet Place : Halkyn Quarry
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves, Full SRT - if doing Thorntree shaft, Cows tails (Optional for Pearl Shaft)

Link to Parking: goo.gl/maps/Z4YmeFgNBYS1P9Ev6

TRIP 1 - Pearl Shaft

This is a lead mine with a fixed ladder entrance pitch of, around, 60 feet (20m). Once down, some of the passages are a little squeezy. There are a couple of short, rope assisted areas. There is also an area of crinoids (if you know where to look) as well as a nice sphalerite vein (again, if you know where to look). You will get muddy.

Suitable for novices with some experience, not suitable for debut cavers. Tripod and Lifeline can be taken.

TRIP 2 - Thorntree Shaft - SRT ONLY (10 MAX)

Limited to only 10 spaces, subject to whether water is being pumped down the shaft – we have spoken to the quarry to alert them, so, shouldn’t be an issue.

2. Kayla
3. Mark E

Kieran (Trip organiser)

Thanks,
