Robin is very close .... I am over Bontddu but not really that close to the village.
The village in the distance is Ganllwyd and, you know where to look, "Gwynfynydd" is further over (Sorry Chris)
There are numerous Gold Mines there .... I am stood next to one of the entrances of one (Not Clogau)
If no one gets it by 6pm this evening - it's Robin's as he is very close

It is 49 years since I was last at Cefn Coch, but I did have an unfair advantage of being employed then as a gold prospector. I even wrote a report on the place - although it only ran to half a page.
I am not sure having photos of obscure Welsh mines on a caving forum is a good idea, to demonstrate this here is a photo that a couple of years ago caused members of a Welsh mining club a lot of identification problems; I believe it may also be Roy Fellows proof. I'll find something more sensible and easy to identify tomorrow morning.

Wot? No interest after a couple of weeks? Time for clues.
1 Don't bother about the unguessable mine. It is the upper trial level of Rhiw manganese mine near Aberdaron. (About SH 22167 28360).
2 The cave is in south Wales. It is in the dolomitized limestone of the Lower Clydach Valley Subgroup. Although a fairly recent discovery it is on the Cambrian Cave Registry. Although very short, the thickness of flowstone in it demonstrates that in the past a considerable amount of water has flowed move than 50m above the nearby surface river.

Yes! Huge has it.
