Just got back from the latest sortie. Spent a couple of hours wandering around. Great to see hobnail boot and horseshoe prints together. Also a makeshift danger sign. (was this originally to warn of firing?). Came across a tin with a tantalising glimpse of a name on it. No idea what it is but I bet someone will enlighten me. Also found a couple of odd shaped steel thingies anyone any ideas as to what they are?. (see photos). A really great evening once again, there is so much to discover. Every trip reveals more of the mines secrets and it is fascinating seeing the results of hard labour. I am starting to recognise quite a few of the tunnels now so it makes it easier to explore new ground, and boy is there a lot of new ground to explore. I did think of mapping as we go but sheesh what a job. :blink:
Anyway here are tonights photos
