    Default Hendre spar mine

    Me and reddood on a day out in wales

    Been wanting to see the ladder section from this place for ages, and the worm hole was a lot of fun. They are taking down some of the rigging is this place and that short zipline is coming down as well or it will be down now as it was being taken down when we was there.

    the place had petzl hangers where the abseils were and they were removing them while we were in there, along with all the ropes and zip lines, some caving club used the rigging for training, but there had been some concern over lieability should someone not from the club fall.

    to be honest, you dont need any of the rigging to explore this place, the only area where SRT is needed is through the worrmhole (picture 6 and 8), and you rig this of an old rail line wedged accross the hole, think you need 40m of rope aswell.

    Looks a beast of a mine!
    The only thing to do with good advice is pass it on. It is never any use to oneself.
