decided to have a look in here as bri had a day off work and play with the dslr
the walk up was cold and we got some good pics of the waterfall
met simonrl, hymac and the others playing with their lamps and fancy dress. i couldnt get a word in as bri wouldnt shut up! we could smell the oil lamps all round the mine.
met some others further in by the flowstoned chamber but didnt get their names, all dressed in srt stuff.
just the usual round trip, bri said the water was a bit lower than usual at the bottom of the incline.
found some nice crystals and bits of timbering, want anothert look in there soon!
