Me and reddood on a day out in wales

Been wanting to see the ladder section from this place for ages, and the worm hole was a lot of fun. They are taking down some of the rigging is this place and that short zipline is coming down as well or it will be down now, as it was being taken down when we was there.

Cheers pal, Yeah this is a good one if you've not been down one before, its really simple getting about down it. Theres is only a few small section where you need ropes (the worm hole being one of them) but you'll still see a lot interesting parts without using ropes.

Cheers man, some thing to do with the insurance or something like that, to stop the "wrong sort of people" using it and putting a claim in, but i would of thought it would just be easier to taker the ladder out of the entrance. To be honest we only used a little bit of the rigging once so it wont make that much difference but seem a shame to take down the zip wire as well.
