Orite, just wondering when anyone was last through the through trip from Flemings to Taylor's level. Had a look in Taylor's a few months ago and couldn't free the lid on the green wheelie bin think mite have rocks on the other side. Cheers rob

Years ago.

And I'd say that was more than likely.

Be careful!

Cheers. Mite just have to leave the top ropes in place just In case. The lid kinda moved but didn't wanna push her to hard. Did the paddy end one last week for the 3rd time, she's still alright. Have been looking at the one at borrowdale graphite mine have u ever done that one?

You really wouldn't want to pull through, it's a different kettle of fish altogether to the Hospital Level trip.

The wad mine is a great little day out. It's a bit loose lower down to say the least but many of the higher pitches seem to be permanently rigged and in good ground. Worth saving for a clear day as the views up the valley are superb.

Wad Mine Gills Stage to Faery? Stage is approved for group use? and has bolts in place , both older resin bolts and newer stainless bolts ( please leave nuts, washers and any hangers in situ ) The descent / traverse of the Grand pipe out/or down to Old Mans stage is bolted, but below that the bolts are old and in dodgy rock, below the "Big Open" is cannonball alley if anything comes lose and it'll catch you in the last shaft down to Ronsons!
