Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Hugo]

Where did I go exactly on my N Wales walk today?

[Gwynant]

               Wild guess (as Yorkie used to say), Sygun Mine, Beddgelert.

[Hugo]

No not today, sorry Gwynant

[Hugo]

We didn't go in the mine because we were barred from doing so.

[Gwynant]

              The lead mines on the way up to Crafnant/ Geirionedd above Trefriw.

[Hugo]

Another good try Gwynant but still not correct.  Does this help?

[Hugo]

Here is another photo of the mine entrance to make it easier.

[DaveR]

Somewhere up by Llanberis, Dinorwig?

[Hugo]

It's a good guess Dave but it's not correct.  It's over there!     

[Hugo]

Another view to the mine.

[Hugo]

Further up the valley     

[Merddin Emrys]

Looks like Cwmorthin slate mine to me.

[Gwynant]

                 I agree with M.E. I haven't seen the latest photos posted today because I have just come in from a day's walking...........in Cwm Cwmorhin!  I passed the slate mine as we were going up to to the head of Cwm Cwmorthin and Cwm Croesor and carried on above up on to Moel Druman and back. It was beautiful up there today and I'll put a few pics on tomorrow to go with the ones that you will surely post now the question is solved!

[Hugo]

Well done  ME and Gwynant       

We did the walk up to Cwmorthin and to Rhosydd quarry then had a peek into Cwm Croesor before returning back to the start.   Hope your weather was good like ours was Gwynant.   

[Merddin Emrys]

I have been inside both of these mines many moons ago, both very interesting and dangerous!
