Went back to Dinorwic on Monday for another look around sections id not been to before, my third trip here. This time inclines A5 A6 and A7 as seen here from 1967, pic taken from the great Slate Industry of North and Mid Wales site

Pic taken from the Mills on the Village level
My target, the drum house on the horizon towards the right
Today the incline carries cables from the power station, i guess the metal on top is a lightning conductor? gradient 1 in 3.8 aint to bad
You can see this telegrah poles in the first pic on the left, this seems to be the only one left standing, the rest have been cut down
Nice view across to snowdon
Bottom of A6
Not much left of the drum house here
A6 with a gradient of 1 in 2.2
Mooching around the levels on the way up
A7, 1 in 2.2 i was fucked now lol
As far as i was going....
Only when i got up here i seen more inclines you couldnt see from the bottom, and here was me thinking as i was at the top, in reality this is 1600 ft above see level when in all it goes on to 2300
Swallow level
Took some steps when i could find them back down!
In all i was about there for around 4 to 5 hours from leaving the car to getting back and in reality only covered a small part of the location
