UKC

I'm hoping to do this over the next few weeks, but I'm told it's easier to ab in on a 70 metre rope, than to walk in at the bottom. I've never been to Twll Mawr so would prefer to avoid an epic if possible.

Is this correct and if so where approximately is the ab station? I've got the Slate guide and from what I can tell it's somewhere along from Watford gap and the Alcove, but any directions / help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Go past Dali's and Never Never Land and keep going along the main path, down a small hill until you see a prominent rock tower on the left above a huge hole in the ground. The ab point is on the right side of the tower (looking into Twll Mawr) and can be backed up with the fence posts. Great route...enjoy!

It would definitely be much easier and quicker to ab in, but I really liked the approach through the slate quarries / tunnels and emerging into the bottom of Twll Mawr. All part of the atmospheric slate experience for me, but appreciate that wasn't really the question.

Many thanks I had a feeling it was somewhere round there

In reply to Sl@te Head:

Thanks Ian and thanks for your excellent routes also. Hopefully we'll get on DoS soon as well.

Hope you enjoy the routes

I added an extra bolt to the top belay / abb station recently so there are now 3 bolts a drilled thread + the fence.

Did you find it?

In reply to Sl@te Head:

Not been yet Ian - hoping to go this coming week if the weather holds good. I'm sure we'll find it, I'm pretty certain I know where you mean.

Thanks again.
