Thought I would share my inital trip reports 
24th - Starts at 3 or 4am picking psykes up and heading into deep north wales. We meet Jagman at around 9am at the Cwmorthin Power Station cafe for breakfast while waiting for Mr Miles and others, a trailer is picked up (thanks Simonrl) and with dayglow kit and steel toecaps and helmet we head for a Nuke power station to pickup some metal they dont want...... Yeah I pause and remember all them urban legends about people collecting scrap metal from nuke power stations and having a short life span but I am reliably told its not been radiated.... After checks we are escorted onsite, CCTV everywhere and were within stone lobbing distance from the nuke buildings picking out scafold poles and big heavy lumps of metal and filling the trailer up. Once full head up to Cmowrthin Lake Level then back for another load then back to Cwmorthin a final time. Now the hard business of shifting all this metal from the closest point we could get it to atleast inside the gate, it took us ages and a lot of hard work.
The WCC turn up from inside just having finished a trip. They thankfully help big style with the shifting of large heavy bits of metal for us, THANKS. We discuss joining up with them for the Sunday and I am glad we did.
I ask if the Sunday trip has any crawling....
Once finished we meet up with the WCC lot (who also happen to be c**tplaces members) to Pentredwr were a small unused school can be hired for sleeping in. Once kit is squared inside we go for beer and food and finally knakered, fed and beered, I am packed off into my own little room to limit my snoring effect on everyone else.
25th - Ogof Llyn Parc - Both a Mine and a cave and a 300ft winch trip all in one! Orgasmic!

Beer in the evening, food, I nearly fall asleep in the pub, back to the school for more sleeping and snoring.
26th - Ogof Llyn Ddu - A cave via a crawl, I decline the offer of further crawling due to my knee and prefer to wade about in the deep water and take photos.

After a quick wander about we drive back to the school and pack up. A FANGtastic bank holiday weekend. Thanks everyone!
