Evening 😉

I'll see everyone else at The Ugly House:

http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=53.100553&lon=-3.859258&z=17.4&r=0&src=msa

at 1800. We can decide when we get there who is ab'ing and who is going to wade in? I shall bring rope and a few crabs etc.

Unless it's changed since I was last there:

Pitch 1: Tree
Pitch 2: Hangers in place I'm sure
Pitch 3: Chain

See you all tomorrow :thumbsup:

Don't think I can make it there now either, don't wait for me.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Great trip last night chaps! :thumbsup:
That mine has something new to offer every time we visit and while there is probably no such thing as New Ground in there, there is certainly a whole load more to look at....bits that we have just whizzed past before, so another trip to the lower levels is called for....along with a boat or wetsuits 😉
Good to see you again Pingu and Piglet and good to have your two young mine explorers along too.
I have to say the two youngsters showed us the way to do it....cool, calm, confident and they had a thoroughly enjoyable trip too which opened their eyes to what will hopefully be a new hobby for them. You're welcome anytime :thumbup:
I have some photos to upload which I will do when I find five minutes.....the old excuse! ::)

No sorry I didn't take my camera up to that level, but I reckon we will make a return visit with a wade-in/quick change/climb those ore chutes/explore the lower levels so I'll investigate it further then, as there is a dry squeeze and a very wet level leading from the same stope, which I would like to investigate further....wetsuit or boat for the wet level I'm afraid :lol:
