Regarding Kelvin's enquiry about the mine. It is the Bwlch Y Plwm Mine, near
Llanfrothen, north of Penrhyndeudraeth.
The story is that an instructor and three girls were in the mine. The first
two girls had descended ( absailed?) the stope and the other girl and
instructor fell down landing on the two below. This is how all four were
injured. At least one managed to get out of the mine and use a mobile 'phone
to summon help. The local Mountain Rescue Team attended.
Presumably the group had entered by the upper adit and intended to descend to
the lower adit to exit the mine, making a through trip.
The HSE. are investigating.
I will update if I hear any more.
