Looks like a nice old mine, mustve been a bit grim day to day working down there though.

Just that tunnel what dan is in , it was collapsed after about 40 meters though. So we went straight on over the top of the ladders and kept going through narrower and narrower squeezes and a few climbs. Then it came to another shaft so we rigged it and went down but the only way to carry on after that was through that squeeze on the pic on fb. I couldn't fit trough at first so after a bit of digging and taking off a few layers i just got through. It then went on to another passage with what looked like a stair case but after about 60 meters it came to another shaft which you could straddle and get to the other side but i went back up to find dan wedged so we had to call it off there. Theres still so much to look at in there i want to know were it ends up even though yesterday when we was heading back all i was thinking was get me out of here..

lol, i was leatherd yesterday! never felt like that EVER. i was even asleep by half nine last night.

That place just goes on and on and on, there are tunnels and passages all over the place. another return trip needed me thinks, without a camera and tripod next time.

on the plus side, it was easy to find the way back, just follow the path of abandand gear, bags, ropes, harnesses, cloths, cameras.. every hundred meters or so something elsegot left behind to collect on the way back.
