Today Pete, Dave, Anthony and myself went on a staff trip to Cwmorthyn Slate mine. The objective of the trip was to undertake a through tip from Cwmorthin to Okley slate mine and familiarise myself with Cwmothyn mine for a upcoming mine leader assessment. The trip got off to a good start but we soon run into problems due to a inaccurate mine survey. Having sorted this we continued on down into the Oakly levels and after some 3 houres daylight appeared. Heading out into the light we were all delighted to see the Crimea Pass, we had made our objective. After a quick bit to eat we climbed out of the mine admiring some of the workings on the Oakly side before heading back over the top of the hill back to the van.
