thanks for posting these pics i was wondering why alderley was absent ive just dug out my photos from over the years and was antisipating a long evening of scanning photos to my pc,pics to follow.my father harry along with todge tom and bernard were some of the founders of the dcc who have spent decades digging away in alderley so i have a huge archive spanning back to the 60's,my fav trip there involved the boat made from a jacuzy in the hough level which refused to go in a straight line.
id better get scanning.
oh...edit.. i think the map is slightly off try sj.858775 that drops you near the docters surgery(wizard pub)
if its a hole explore it...

I too was wandering why the Alderley Mines were missing, but I suppose it's down to us guys to include them now, I have spent many evenings digging at Alderley, though not of late due to work commitments. I know todge well, can remember tom but can't remember harry or bernard, as yet, might do If you have a photo. As to the boat trip, there are now two bath tubs and a big canoe.I fell out of the large canoe last year in the deepest part near boot hill, bloody cold too. I would love to see your photos when you get time to scan them.

Yes I noticed my error with grid ref, have asked simon to correct it for me, although I did get it from the DCC web site.
The management thanks you for your co operation.

unfortunatley scanning is having mixed results the colours are coming out wrong and the pics are fuzzy so i guess ill have to rephoto the photos in daylight...heres the old boat with me and bernard and another of the stump shaft and sand cavern you can see how bad the scans are.
