Abercwmeiddaw slate mine, Corris Uchaf, Wales, Jul14

[The Wombat]

Was great to be back hiking in Snowdonia, and although our weekend was focused around hiking & beer, we found ourselves having a quick peek back at this derelict mine near the lovely village of Corris. We stumbled across this a few years back, and I was keen to have a proper look round, and see inside the ‘binoculars’. These are testing bore holes apparently. It looks like a large section has crumbled away, as the tubes continue on another outcrop.

The slate mine was worked between the 1860s and the early 1950s.

Explored with KM punk… and a reluctant Non member.
