Is it almost September already? :blink: :o

A decision has been arrived at and its Catherine and Jane copper mine! A fairly easy going place. Some light SRT involved but nothing too scary! :thumbup:

Well worth a look, the insitu pump rods are quite special.

Dont be afraid, come along and join in!

At the usual time of 6:15 (ish)
SRT kit required, but if you dont have it but wish to try i'm sure we could cobble together something! Its not a tough pitch (this is coming from me! So it must be easy!)
FILTH - Think this is a playground? Think again...

Nice one Paul,

I'm in. I'm up for the SRT too. Doctors! What do they know??! Although if Mrs Sinker sees this I'll be grounded....

If we want to go down to the ochre in the bottom level I think we'll need the bolting kit.

There were bolts in situ (10 mm) but only one hanger on the winze in the 'smithy level' when I was there last (in 2009), so it would probably be a good idea to at least take a couple of hangers and nuts.

Has anyone been there more recently?

Willy Eckerslyke, Blober & myself looked at those bolts on a Thursday Night trip about a year ago & in all honesty they didn't look too inviting :thumbdown: Perhaps it's time for an upgrade 🙂

Assuming they are the same ones they looked fairly new and shiny when Skimble and I used them in 2009.

It would be interesting to see how they have degraded.
