Fascinating!

Is that an egg-ended boiler at 0.35?

Compressed Air IIRC. It's big too, I'm sure the album has pictures of people standing on it.

Paul -
Nice seeing my 2nd home under the bits I can't get to. Glad your guide showed You where You need to see, it's extensive under there.

I remember having a look round there as part of the 2011 NAMHO and that large cylinder.

Very nice to see the trucks and such :thumbup:

Brilliant to see what is under the water :thumbsup: . There are loads of interesting places I can think of which are flooded and beyond the reach of most of us. But an easy job for you.
Great music for driving up the M62 with a clear road.

Nice work. The music situation will rarely be a point of agreement for anyone it seems. I think I'm going to make a recording of bubbles underwater in the bath and play that whenever I watch a diving video in future - more realistic 😉

We tried the bubbles that we make IE our exhaust bubbles when we breath out on the videos and they sound horrid, do appreciate that some people do have peculiar taste with music though, especially my mate Brett and RJV :blink: :bored: :lol:

Very interesting to see the parts of Cambrian I'll never be able to reach.

As for music, yes, it's a very emotive and personal thing. I would prefer to hear the natural sounds of the underground world: - the clanking of slate etc, the sound of distant water...or in this case just bubbles (however horrid!), as a soundtrack. But maybe that's just me.
I currently watch most videos on Utube with the sound off 😉 🙂

Fantastic video there- great to see the parts of the mine most of us will never get to :thumbup: - it's almost enough to make me wish i'd taken up diving, but then again, maybe not!!

The Christine mine in the first video above looks fantastic, but would need serious dewatering for me to appreciate it 🙂

The cave in the last video is simply stunning :blink:

(By the way liked the music for the 3rd video) :)

Many thanks, Paul, for sharing.
