Saw that earlier I wondered if it was another mine blowout.

Doesn't mean the plans can't be modified and a new application made

Shame they couldn't just reopen the pub!

Roy, are you interested in seeing the list of the Hafren mines?

Dave, I've emailed you.

Following some survey work I had to do for NRW I have their complete list of all mines and quarries in the Hafren Forest. It is comprehensive!

To add, similar seems to be happening at Severn Trent and Dwr Cymru car parks

There appears to be a concerted campaign by NRW to stop over night camping on their land at the moment. Arond here nearly all their car aprks now have signs banning overnight parking and it is being policed by them and the Police. Much of this seems to have been caused by indescrimate dumping...

Drove through earlier this week and a compound has been set up in the car park below the (closed) Star Inn, and various drilling/corring equipment can be seen in and around the area. Local rumour is that they are coring the waste tips for possible reclamation of any lead ore remaining.

Geologically that would be very unlikely! I'm intrigued about the other one you mention, as I can't find anything about it, and a friend lives in the area; do you have any more details?

I was doing a patient transport job this week in the Tregynon area and had my OS map open and noted a disused mine shaft mentioned at (roughly) SO104 996. Can't seem to find anything about this, and I would have thought it is well out of the area for lead mines. Anyone know anything about it...

There are a couple of people in Llanidloes who have an interest in the local mines, and some have certainly explored some of the them. Funnily enough a couple of us got together last week to look at a map of all the stuff up in Hafren.

Not if they tow the cars away, which has been threatened in some cases, as you then get the towing charge and a storage charge added on, plus you have to get to the storage area.

It's a devolved matter so nothing at all to do with Westminster's "Culture" Secretary.

Where he has worked hand in hand with NWR, the Councils and the National Park Authority to make sure everything is "right", which is why I am sure the filming at Aberllefenni was all above board.

I understand that they were up there for a couple of days and had ridden and prepared the "trail" well before it was filmed, which is why some of it looked well used, and I am sure they had permisssion to do so. Certainly in the past he has made sure that everything is done properly and legally.
