More pictures from Croesor Mine…

Monday, 16th July 2012

Saturday’s trip into Croesor is documented by Pete, but here’s some of Brendan’s pretty pictures from the trip …it was a fab day out, but Pete neglected to expand on some of the obstacles along the way! So, here’s a review

Welsh Blog Rendezvous

Monday, 16th July 2012

However, we only generally go to Wales when the sun is out, and then we go rock climbing. This time was different though, the through …

My flight to Ireland left Liverpool at stupid o’clock… Compounding that with the taxi driver struggling to find the office I would be based in for the week, by the time I arrived I was knackered!

On Friday their …
