Today, participants of the 'Better Employability Skills' course (Best 3) visited the 'Big Pit' coal mine in Blaenavon.
After arriving safely (courtesy of our wonderful minibus driver Kay who endured some 'lively' banter), the group had a fifty minute guided underground tour of the mines, incorporating all the health and safety aspects of the past and present.
The group were 'kitted out' with helmets (much to the annoyance of those who spent ages that morning styling their hair), lamps and heavy batteries.
The majority of the group had their yearly exercise by bending because of the low roof, but luckily for Heather (not being blessed with much height) she was able to walk entirely upright with room to spare for the whole tour.
