Long time since I've been up Gunnerside, obviously someone has done alot of work on the level!

We had a great day up there. Visited 4 mines with bulk of underground time in Bunton. Don't know what Priscilla was like in past but the adit would have needed a shovel to clear out the "entry" pipe on the day we were there - which we didn't have. Will definitely go back.

The pipe was iffy but intact last time I was there, but that was a few years ago now.

I've heard talk of collapses but don't know if thats this entrance, of the more substantial dig further in.

I thought I'd heard that it was the entrance dig to Victoria which had collapsed? Or maybe it was both? Or perhaps I'm just plain confused! :confused:

The entrance pipe in the photo above was about 70% ish obstructed with debris when we were end Jan. It could have been cleared relatively easily - probably just a few shovel fulls. We didn't attempt to clear on the day as having just spent a while in Bunton we were keen to push on & get into another mines
