I met the peeps and introduced them to myself, and then the top of Gentlewomans shaft, dropped a wee rope,passed them a trusty dragging tool, and bid they 'farewell, follow the welly marks then the water. then retreated until 2 pm.
@ 2pm. zomjon David, and myself found ourselves at said shaft,had a hidious ab' down and jammed on the intrepid yellow kit bag below, (waiting to be retrieved by 'The Intrepid party!').enjoyed a bimble through the pretty sections and stope scramble, whilst being increasingly aware of the 'next bit'.
on approach it played on my mind that none of the party was as ample as our trio of rather more mature intrepid ( daft.) souls.
I assume Edd took lead and thereafter had a dig . Well done chap!!
i lay and fairly popped No.1. almost no water Brill!!!
No.2 similar look as i lay ready, to be sure i cleared a bucketful, or so from the puddle ,whilst enjoying a flushing through both legs of my warmbac, and out via my upper chest.
Nice!
slid through. as did Dave and Jon.super.
Now the 'beef'! some (possibly intrepid.)party ha traveled this way and left all the rocks, cobbles,stones and even gravel pointy side up! Thanks guys, and gal!
an absolutely great crawl some flat some on knees some 'chimp ish, and crouched, for a little way :lol: :lol:
and on,..........................................................................
and so onward
and on.
soon 'Ahem' we reached the holy grail of a childrens play park ( or that's how Mr P. Gadd. described them .)
A damn fine trip 600 ft' of elevation and a long way on old knees! 'Kin brill! :thumbup:
i omit all description of the mines, formations and detail so as to allow the next post, take it away!!!
