Park in the small car park near the tunnel and walk back towards Ecton on the old railway, the adit is just below the railway in an obvious cutting.

I think we had a look in here a while back with you AR? Not sure we went in the top level though?

We did do the bottom level on the WMRG trip. The upper one takes a lot of finding, even if you know where it is!

I think we must have been a few feet away as we were searching here we did find a Adit that only went in a few yards and also something looking very suspicious under the water line directly below it however we were about 50 yards further up than the farmhouse.

What we did notice on our walk up was some VERY old stone steps going down from the farmhouse to the waters edge, looking at your map i think this must be almost directly opposite the adit 😉
