Both these ropes are now in the water. The jugging rope has quite clearly been recently cut (two new frayed points clearly visible).Cantclimbtom said:Really?? The day a few hours before Welsh lockdown (23rd Oct) there was both a jugging rope and a looped safety rope to clip.

Luckily all of my party had the skills to ascend back out, I know a lot of people who complete this trip would not be able to ascend the first 2 abs. A call out waiting to happen.

Both Croesor and Rhosydd quarries don't have a door, so clearly can't be indoors and is therefore outdoors. Does it work like that??

That?s quite a sweeping statement, it does not say in the legislation ?thou shalt not go underground? IMO as long as you are sensible and stay within your capabilities and don?t take the mickey, go underground if that?s what you want to do.sinker said:Cantclimbtom said:Cwmorthin has a lockable gate/door, so that's indoors.

No one should be underground anywhere yet. Never mind the indoors/outdoors thing (a mine is NOT outdoors...) cave rescue or mountain rescue would go their heads if they had to rescue someone from there. And you wouldn't blame them. "Easing" of lockdown doesn't mean a free-for-all; people still need to exercise some common sense.
