Pictures 3,6 & 11 don't look like the silica mine? OFD perhaps?

Seems to be a growing trend for pitching this sort of thing to newspapers presumably for cash-money.

'Annette, 49, spent days crawling through the pitch black tunnels'

'leaping over huge gaps in the dark'

Why didn't she turn her lamp on if she has decades of experience :lol:

Deffo OFD - Numpties, I do wish if these ca$h hungry photographers would get the right places when they sell their photos to the national press!

Better to regret something you have done - than to regret something you have not done.

Annette doesn't plan to stop documenting caves and has already planned to explore a number of sulphur and disused slate mines across the UK.

fair call on that consider myself told. Just found the pictures of Dinas and OFD together slightly confusing.
