Dorothea a Trigonos

For our winter social 26 of us were treated to a guided walk around Dorothea slate quarry, a fascinating insight from Dr Gwynfor Pierce Jones. Some members of the group remembered the good old days, when it was possible to abseil a hundred metres to the bottom of the pit before it filled up with water.

From the start, Gwynfor sought to be controversial for fear we might not remember him; no chance of that, but I won’t repeat things for fear of libel. For anyone wanting to know more about Dorothea, the recommended website is penmorfa.com There is of course Gwynfor’s book but make sure you buy the new edition which is becoming available just now.

Back at Trigonos we enjoyed a tasty home cooked lunch; a great venue, with superb views and good company.
