1. Have a Picnic:

Weather permitting, picnics are a great idea for a first date. There’s food, you’re outdoors, and best of all you can speak to each other without worrying if other people in the area can hear you. Just pack up a basket full of food, a blanket, and head off to your favorite little stream or park and the date is made for you.

2. Go Skating:

Skating can be done anywhere, outdoors, at a skating rink, around an empty basement (on second thought an empty basement might NOT be the BEST place for a first date). It’s great if you stink because then you have to hold on really tightly to your date (swoon). And if you fall, handle it with grace and laugh at yourself. Your date will definitely like that!

3. Go Bowling:

Bowling is another first date idea that’s good even if you stink. If you’re good you’ll impress your date with your cannon of an arm, if you stink then do a victory dance (even if you only knock down one pin). Either way, even in the loud atmosphere of the alley, you’ll have a good time. Just don’t walk off with the bowling shoes.

4. Have a Ping Pong Tournament:

What’s better than a game of ping pong? A ping pong tournament! Challenge your date to a game or ten and go crazy with the paddles. It’ll be the perfect chance to show off your mad skills, or lack thereof. Either way, there will be laughs and good times.

5. Play Mini Golf:

Mini Golf is the most played first date game in the history of first dates. There’s a reason for that — mini golf is a little bit or exercise paired with a little bit of conversation paired with a lot of frustrated cursing. But none of that matters because it’s good clean fun (mostly, if you don’t swear because you miss your shot) and you and your date have to stick close to each other.

6. Go Dancing:

I know the cool thing to do lately when you go dancing is to rub your booty all up against people but I’m not talking about that kind of dancing. We’re women okay? On a first date dance like a lady. Your date will be holding you close or just close to you and it’ll be romantic. And that ladies is what we want on a first date. Fun and Romance!

7. Play Pool:

Pool! It’s a fun game. And this is another date idea where it doesn’t matter how good or bad you are at the game. If you’re good, impress your date with crazy jump tricks and bank shots. If you’re bad, your date will have to teach how to aim and shoot. Either way, it’ll be a good time.

8. Paint Pottery:

Let out that creative being and paint some pottery! It’s inexpensive and a great way to spend a night with your date. It gets the creative juices flowing and conversation is pretty easy. Talk about anything from color choices for your pieces to how scary some of the pre-sculpted pieces are!

9. Go for Coffee:

Having coffee has always been and will always be a great first date. You have something to sip when you need a minute to think of a witty response to what your date is saying. You’ll also get a nice quiet place to talk.

Subterranean
bridges might conjure images of Khazad-dûm in the Mines of Moria, where
Gandalf faces the Balrog in The Lord of the Rings. Here on
middle-of-the-road Earth, however, things are not quite so dramatic.
Not quite, but nearly. In the bowels of underground abandoned mines,
bridges of timber supported by rusting metal chains cross precipitous,
abyssal gaps; yet mine explorers need no second invitation to brave
them.

View from up top: Moel Fferna’s Bridge of Death

The rotten planks of the legendary Bridge of Death in the Moel Fferna
slate mine, North Wales straddle a heart-stopping drop, but this bridge
is actually in better condition than most found in the Welsh slate
mines. Even so, treading across to make it to the other side will earn
you some well deserved kudos with the mine exploring community.

Subterranean Bridge of Death: Moel Fferna slate mine

This image shows another perspective on Moel Fferna’s impressive Bridge
of Death, which spans the roof of a large, high vaulted chamber. A
scarcely visible tramline runs along the chamber floor, where the
silhouette of a mine explorer can be seen. Moel Fferna is a rare case
of a slate mine where there is no trace of surface workings; they were
all completely underground.

Rotten Bridge beneath the surface: Bleanau slate mine

Emerging from the claustrophobic confines of a derelict mining tunnel
only to find yourself faced with a bridge that looks as though it might
collapse at any moment is not an experience for the fainthearted. This
next bridge is not even safe to set foot on, so decayed is it by the
clawing hand of time: climbing ropes fixed to the rock face on one side
were needed to traverse the uncertain gap it spans.

Into the unknown: A mine explorer clings to the wall while darkness looms ahead

The exact location of these next few bridges must remain unspecified
because they were photographed before gaining access to the tunnel
network in which they lie became an issue. Suffice to say that at their
peak in the 19th century, the combined quarries produced well in excess
of 50,000 tonnes of slate each year and together represented one of
Britain’s biggest.

Rickety crossing: Another bridge in a mine system that must remain nameless

In fact, in its heyday north-west Wales was home to the largest slate
mines and quarries in the world, and the slate industry dominated the
economy of the region until decline set in at the beginning of the 20th
century. The Great Depression sandwiched by two World Wars saw the
closure of many smaller quarries, while competition from other roofing
materials led to the larger ones being shut down in the 1960s and ’70s.

Underground Bridge of Death: Croesor Quarry slate mine

Croesor is another Welsh slate quarry that lies almost entirely
underground. Despite a series of collapses, it is possible to make the
trip from Croesor to the nearby Rhosydd Quarry via a tunnel. Home-made
bridges, fixed ropes, zip wires and even inflatable boats have been
installed to make this classic mine explorers’ trip possible, if not
necessarily safe. These pictures show the final and most awkward
crossing – another ‘Bridge of Death’.

Making the crossing: Ropes help explorers over Croesor’s timber bridge

Why are these bridges such a feature of Wales’ long disused slate
mines? Well, where the slate was worked away below the main haulage
floor, building a wooden bridge across the hollowed out chamber
maintained it as a through way. Often suspended from chains fixed into
the roof above, these bridges could be as much as 100ft (30m) above the
floor below; high enough to let giddiness set in after a brutal day’s
work at the rock face.

Chamber of Horrors: Remains of bridge across a double chamber in Croesor

The image above is another stage in the Croesor-Rhosydd through trip,
affectionately dubbed The Chamber of Horrors. As photographer Simon
Lowe told EG: “This bridge was unusual in that it spanned a double
chamber and as the photo shows would have rested on the quarried away
wall”. The bridge supports still exist, doing a bad impression of a
trapeze, while the partially worked away wall separating the chambers
can be seen on the right.

Floating bridge: Beams of a bridge over freezing water in Croesor

The water in these underground cavities may look inviting, but be
deceived ye not: it’s deathly cold. Mine explorers must not only
wrestle with claustrophobia and vertigo; when negotiating bridges that
don’t teeter over dizzying drops, the prospect of water at temperatures
that could quickly bring on hypothermia may await. Above, the metal
beams of a bridge over a flooded chamber in Croesor beckon the
sure-footed. We’ll leave it to the mine explorers and Gandalfs of this
world.
