October Unofficial

What about the "secret government bunker" in 'Beris is that accessible enough ?

(It was used to store art treasures during the war) Alan Wylie, occasionally of this parish will be along shortly to tell us about it !

The art treasures weren't at LLanberis - they were stored at Manod Quarry, near Blaenau Ffestiniog.

It's a long time since I was last there. I have hear rumours that the fence has been fixed recently. There were also plans to turn the quarry into a snow dome with rotating real snow slopes.

There are pages on the "bomb store" at

Well looks like a goer ...

"At the moment, all of our accommodation is available on those dates. The 6 berth static van is £100 for the weekend. The bunkhouse is £8 p.p.p. night. Camping is £4 p.p.p. night. There are hot showers and toilets. We serve breakfast and evening meals in the inn."

Just wait on an update from Austin re the Eectric mountain then I think we may have a plan.

On or around Tue, 09 May 2006 20:28:36 +0100, Austin Shackles enlightened us thusly:

Ok, heard from Dot Lamb:

Re: tour numbers -

Hello Austin Shackles The weekend of 28th/29th October is in the school half term break and will be very busy So please book as soon a possible - minimum numbers do not apply for this period

Re: sprogs -

Hello Austin Shackles Children must be able to wear the safety helmets underground - if they fit and the child is willing to keep them on then that is OK If they don't fit (too large) then one parent can stay on the bus with the child and only miss part of the tour Hope this helps

Regards Dot Lamb

I presume they have small sized helmets - it'd lose too much trade if no anklebiters got to do it.

So, if we want to do it, then numbers and booking reasonably pronto would be a good thing, I should think.

Austin Shackles uttered summat worrerz funny about:

Austin ,

We are up for it 2 Adults 2 Children, do they need a deposit I'd guess?

I've put a very basic web page here and will inc in the signature from here on.

I'll also plug it in the Yahoo forum for 101FC.
