I reckon Volcanoe junction should be ok....

Colonel,
You're a man of the world wink, wink, nudge, nudge.
When was you last below Earthquake Passage?

Incidentally - has anyone been down there lately? - off the end of the passage, descend several pitches, across the stope and then down the slope to the flooded bit right at the bottom.

Two of made an unplanned walk up to Levers Water on what must have been the hotest day of the summer with a lot of rope and a vague idea to descend the funnel to the bottom. Being half dead by the time we had sweated up the track we gave up that idea and crossed the catwalk and the short traverse to get to earthquake passage instead. We dropped down the first pitch but by that time all exploratory ambition had been well and truly washed out of us so we gave up and went to the pub and spent far too much time staring at a shapely young lady sat on a wall with very tight pants and clearly no knickers instead.

So the conclusion of that rambling tale is no.

Black Bull looking towards the wall outside the Yewdale Hotel. A far more productive place to spend a summers day than in those grotty dark mines.

Very fit she was too, a nice end to a very exhausting day.

Yes, yes this is all very well but some distance from earthquake passage.

Has no-one managed to push the pitches below earthquake passage to their conclusion?

Incidentally the lady of which you spoke, did she by any chance show any interest in mining history. If so I would be only too willing to show her the girth of my experience when it comes to such matters.
