Lol, naa, I landed on my ass :) Cheers Iain :)

Truly brilliant again. Just a few points. 1)The shaly bits had very triangular passages. Is this because both sides are sagging in. 2) My better half( who thinks you should all be in an asylum but really is quite impressed) exclaimed that your camera work is very good but was heard to mutter "children" when you were trying to get the pipe to gurgle.( i think that was appreciation as well but who knows) 3) Can you get one way valves in the wellies to let the water out.

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

Yes, they weren’t origionally that shape, pressure from both sides, although, ironically, likely much safer now that shape. lol, nothing wrong with a good pipe gurgle (raspberry) lol. Some people cut holes but if they are constantly emptying and filling, keep getting fresh, cold water in them :). Thanks :)

This explore just gets better! It makes you think when you look at all the areas of workings and horse level, how many tons were bought out of each mine. At the same time I do wonder how much were natural cavens.

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

As far as I know, none of these were natural caverns, you can usually see cave formations when they've intercepted one, but that's rare in that area.

Extra stout is the beverage of choice when watching UKAME. They pair well.

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

Brilliant! Looking forward to part 3!

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

Cheers Floop, glad you enjoyed.

The water was very ochre in this part of the mine, & clear further back can I ask why? It does look very crumbly shale beautiful colours & structure though. It also has very sharp edges which you have to be careful. It is a stunning mine though with stunning stopes & ladders that are in great condition, beautiful chambers, natural arching & narrow passageways just awesome, beautifully shot as always look forward to the final installment! ta very much! ❤😊👍

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

Yep, water messy as Gary was ahead disturbing it and it's not fast flowing as in other sections. Yep, knock those sharp edges, could bring a roof section down. Thanks very much Carol :)

[@louisestephenson1295]

That’s so well done, can’t wait for part 3😊

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

Cheers Louise :). First episode, the camera was over exposing, only noticed when we entered the shale so better colours in this too.

[@laurahaaima1436]

That old raise looked like a lavatube going straight up..

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

Yup, massive that one.

[@thescoreboard8930]

That place looks ready to squish people at will.

[@UKAbandonedMineExplores]

There is a similar one nearby that is constantly collapsing but this one ain’t so bad.
