Croeser to Rhosydd Through Trip - April 2010
Well the plan began with a trip to Wales on the cards. A few places were thrown about and a location was decided. Well kind of .... After a sneaky phone call with Morrisey it was decided to head up to Croeser and do the through trip but not to tell R1 :D
Sunday finally came round and off we all headed to Wales randomly meeting on the A55. 10 am came and we finally arrived at Cwm carpark and got kitted up. The ruse was still in full swing as we headed up the mountain. Finally finding our way to Croeser we headed into the mine and donned our SRT kit ready for the fun to begin. I didnt get many pics on the fun bits but others did so i will let them tag them on :) My pics are mainly from the Rhosydd end :) Visited with Carabener, R1, Gibbo, Morrisey, Boboil, Copy Cat and Manx's Credit Card :D Heading up past the lake. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3627/...df7b424071.jpg One of the bridge crossings. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1264/...c75f7a68f3.jpg Top of one of the Rhoysydd inclines http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3595/...2fe2a3e34c.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3492/...4646fe0d00.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4070/...d56b949c54.jpg Bottom of the incline http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2691/...16b5d77068.jpg Fun with flares :) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3159/...07eb5ca842.jpg Looking up to the Twill http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3371/...2c75a9de00.jpg Group shot :) http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3467/...7f6d877949.jpg And out into the fog http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1028/...94351f2f64.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3400/...3a6c2a5c0a.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4008/...e92d57bac4.jpg The barraks in the mist http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3636/...b613c9abd9.jpg |
I can't thank you guys enough for changing your plans to fool R1, although he claims he knew all along! I've wanted to do this place for ages.
High points (cos I didn't take a camera) - the first abseil, the zip line, the bridges of death, abseiling INTO A BOAT. How fecking cool is that! Low points - slipping on the slate and being bruised to buggery! |
Absolutely Fantastic shots, Can't wait to see what the others post!

Just to add that three of the group had no idea as to which slate quarry they were in, it was only when Si was safely 2/3rds down the first abseil and with no chance on getting out the way he came in, that i let Gibbo and copy cat know they were on the first drop of the CRTT!:D
Thanks to Ed and John for being the guides for the day. Plus a big well done to Copy Cat, Gibbo & R1 after being dumped in the deep end. Gibbo looks worried and the truth dawns for Si that the only way out is onwards http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3054/...cce4090edc.jpg John goes over the edge watched by boboil http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3327/...26e78c8f15.jpg Copy Cat on the zip. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1262/...db65d1cb93.jpg boboil on th zip line(click on the link) http://www.flickr.com/photos/b3tarev3/4551790431/ An extremely dodgy set of ladders http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/...d61902c31b.jpg R1 on the first BOD http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3068/...caeab9e089.jpg BOD http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1126/...0897cb2f4b.jpg The second water crossing http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3655/...aeac9b7a88.jpg Tub cart turntable at the bottom of the incline http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3287/...11f230d75f.jpg Coming down the Twyll http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1153/...a0d94cb21f.jpg |
