I've created a new topic so that a) the Aditnow thread is not hijacked, b) People who are not following that thread can see this. Proposal: Setup a Group for discussing and creating a new web site to act as an 'open'* forum and database for British mining. I've created a Slack group where...

Sunday 13 August 2023 William Williams, in his Observations of the Snowdon Mountains noted in 1802 that A little below Blaen y Nant farm-house there is, at the foot of a high rock, a large body of some mineral matter, not unlike to what miners describe by the name Molubdena… This was a quick...

Friday 11 August 2023 About 12 years ago, probably more, I did a Friday afternoon anti-clockwise circumnavigation of Mynydd Mawr starting from Rhyd Ddu. I can't remember much of that trip except that I came across a fenced off flooded shaft on some boggy ground around SH 547 558. Enquiries on...

Here's one for the hive mind. I've bought two Ikea desks - rectangular plain, and want to arrange them in an L shape, removing one leg where a chair would go, and replacing it with a 2mm x 40mm x 10mm aluminium plate screwed in underneath. I'm not sure what Ikea use for their desks - I guess...

I had a look down here 20+ years ago, so tonight's visit was just to have a bit of a comb over the dumps. Much to my surprise, the adit was open. I'm sure it wans't when I was last there. Open passage, with about 2' of water and a bit of a draught. I wan't expecting this and didn't have a torch...

At Cwmorthin. https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/worlds-deepest-glampsite-romantic-grotto-27061312 TBF, that's not a bad idea for a venture. Good luck with it.

Not sure if this is a cave or a mine, and whether Bangor (or even Wales!!) is in any way involed. Anyone know about this? https://www.msn.com/en-gb/travel/news/youtuber-with-claustrophobia-explores-12-inch-wide-cave-network/ar-AA1afDzM Also on the Daily Mail, but I'm not giving them clicks.

Cwm Nantcol I remember seeing the inclined rock terrace with the intriguing black spoil heaps and invititing looking holes above whilst driving to start a walk up Rhiniog Fach and Y Lethr. This was 25 years ago. I thought once I'd knocked off The Nuttals, I'd have a bit more time for bimbling...

https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/dramatic-dog-rescue-after-beloved-26448074 Anyone know which one. I know there's some intriguing looking mining scars in the limestone above the old railway, a couple of fenced off areas near Offa's Dyke Path higher up. I might have even looked...

Not sure where to post this as it's a mishmash of North Wales Caves, North Wales Mines and out of area trips. Anyway, I've recently had reason to re-master a handful of newsletters by the Gwynedd Cave & Pothole Club, a club that ran for about 7 years in the 90s. The newly minted pdfs are now on...

This section of the AditNow website does appear to be operational, in that if you have a document url, you can get it. You can also get a list going back to Mar 2020 from the front page. There does not appear to be a link to list all documents on the front page - there used to be in the past...

Is there any access to any of these at the moment? The only things I've done in Corris are Ratgoed, the hole on the other side of the valley containing the crane, and the tourity boaty thing. Although interested in surface remains if there's no underground access.

Are back. There are a couple of places left for next Saturday https://www.apedale.co.uk/attractions/extended-mine-tours/ Had I noticed a bit sooner, I'd have booked. Think I did the No 7 Drift Tour a few years ago, so am interested in the new tour.

https://www.business-live.co.uk/economic-development/zip-world-start-work-underground-23650104 Not published on 1st April. Quite fancy having a go, but am not sure what I think about it otherwise.

https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/02/220223111238.htm Where can I buy one?

Not my neck of the woods, so no idea where this is. Nice pics though. https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/explorers-share-rare-glimpse-inside-22996314

I'm off up to the north-east tomorrow, and have a whole day on Saturday to lazilly make my way back to Wales. Thought that Swinner Gill might be interesting for a look. I've done Gunnerside before, so am looking for just a nice meander around Swinner Gill. Firstly, I presume it's best done from...
