Camping - Miners Standard again yes :thumbsup: I think Rockchick is checking if it needs booking.

The Barley Mow (home of hen racing) now does camping and has pop-up tents to use for a modest fee. and a greater range of 'good' ales & ciders.

Due to my lack of driving skills, I'm unlikely to camp in Winster as carrying the extra bags and tent will just about do me in, but I can meet at an appropriate halfway point for Monyash or Lathkill - maybe Bakewell? I can get there for 9.25 or 10.15 from Sheffield.

Not sure what's planned for Sunday yet, or whether I can do it, but I'll attempt it at least. At current rates, my plans should have changed about 15 times by next weekend 😞

I''l be down in Bakewell around 9.30 on the Saturday morning if you can make it.

As a general suggestion for the Saturday morning, should we all meet up at the Smithy in Monyash?

Simon - as previously mentioned, I'm not out on Sunday, I'm required for equine chauffering duties ...

Follow the horses, Johnny my laddie, follow the horses canny lad-oh!

According to OG the Barley Mow can hire out a pop-up tent if that makes it any easier?

Anybody else for camping or shall I just book for me and Rockchick?

We'll probably know what we're doing on Saturday on Sunday if that makes sense.

I apologise for my shoddy planning on this one - I've had almost no time for weeks and weeks.

It'll all work out on the day I'm sure. :thumbsup:

Just checked the Barley Mow web site and there are no showers. I'll check tomorrow and come to a final decision ;)

Does anybody have any strong feelings either way?

Please post up if you need camping! So far:

Truthfully no idea about the trips yet - I'll try and firm up arrangements early next week when I've got a bit more time 😞

Zomjon mentioned he's on-board for knotlow/ hillocks / Meccano passage :thumbup:
should be refreshing :lol:
oppertunity to look as far as four ways?
😮 (this would reduce the need for running showers at camp!)

If you go down Knotlow and anyone fancy the Bung Series, please ease my troubled mind, I seem to recall seeing Lead Ore in situ in the floor of the natural passage somewhere near where the "Too tight" rift drops down. I am convinced I saw it, but was I dreaming? :confused: :confused:

Always remember, nature is in charge, get it wrong and it is you who suffers!.

Is there still a problem of bad air down Knotlow/Hillocks?

Been one I've wanted to look down for 20 years now. But maybe not Crimbo Passage..... 😢

To answer the queries above in part at least...

The air last Tuesday was a bit odd, one of the party couldn't get his lighter to stay alight but there was a slight draught coming down Whalf Old Sough from Crimbo vein and I didn't experience any symptoms of bad air. However, if people are concerned then maybe try a spot-test with a lighter before heading into Meccano passage?

As for a lead vein, I didn't have time to go through the Bung so I couldn't comment, I'll look on a future visit. I did however note surprising amounts of galena in the sediments which I can't imagine the miners having left, so have these washed into the area post-abandonment?

BTW Ric, our handiwork from last year is standing up nicely!

Follow the horses, Johnny my laddie, follow the horses canny lad-oh!

I know I'm not out to play on the Sunday but there's still nothing arranged, so a quick bump for this - are people wanting to do another SRT trip, or would they prefer a non-string day? If it's the latter, there are a couple of suggestions spring to mind.
