1. The History
Already done a pretty extensive history for my previous report which you can find HERE .
2. The Explore
Fourth time here and final report from my Easter hols in North Wales. Surprised that there aren’t more reports from the absolute gem of a place. It’s colossal and there is always something that you didn't see on previous visits. This time the weather was superb for this family visit to the Braich side. Managed to get up to the Caban but ran out of time to go up one more level to the Australia level and its legendary mill. Quite a few climbers and hikers around too but soon as I got up to Pen Garret level on C5. And amazing views across to the Garret side.
3. The Pictures
Coming in at Mill’s level about 1,000 ft up, one of the first things you see is the giant cabling for electric mountain following the Garret incline:
Out comes the sun!
The lake is looking rather fine:
This pyramidal incline looks like an Inca temple:
Slate, slate and more slate:
Up the miner’s track we go:
The views keep on coming:
And we arrive at the next level up:
Looing into the scree pit:
Tramming tunnel to the left:
And to the right:
A pair of old axles?
And some old iron stand for something:
The collapsed smithy’s extractor hood:
Loving this robot looking machinery:
Pit at the bottom of the scree slope:
Tramming tunnels:
Up the track we continue:
Rusting water tank:
And an old telegraph pole:
Here’s the caban:
A few things of interest in there:
Old quarry worker’s shoes or more recent?
Wall of fame:
