Channel dug into tunnel floor
It was at this point we decided that wellies were needed. We had circumvented loads of flooded tunnels but eventually had to admit that to get further without wet feet we would have to return again better prepeared. We estimated that we had gone in around 650mtrs and think we weren't far short of the brick tower vent. We only came across one major roof collapse and managed to get around that via other tunnels. Hobnail boot marks were everywhere this far in and although we saw one horseshoe which was hanging from a roof support, no hoof prints were seen. Another venture in the next week or so is likely (complete with wellies). It was interesting to see the rough dug water channel, obviously dug after the work in this area was finished.
