Report - Middleton Mine - The Trilogy is complete - 23/05/10

[MADMAX]

Me, Iron Monkey and his mate had yet another epic trip to Middleton on the what was the hottest day of the year so far lol.
This time we finally had the place pretty much cracked, finding the Crusher bays and Conveyors that were further in than we'd been before. It felt like quite an achievement actually get from one side to the other (daylight to daylight). The massive Glowsticks once again proved themselves invaluable in our navigation of the tunnels.
Anyway, here are some of my shots:

Even Evil Kenevel would be stupid to attempt this one

The Worlds most sinister Teddy Bears Picnic

The Pit of Doom gets the Glowstick treatment

An underground Lake

Iron Monkey in Action

One of the Conveyors

Three flooded Tunnels

Drilling into the rock

Yes mate, I believe we did. I think we've pretty much seen everything now, but I'm sure yet another future trip may hold some more surprises

nice report looks cool

 

[IronMonkey]

Nope, we didn't see any of that, although we are planning to go back. The problem is this place is so vast that finding stuff takes a while.

Nice explore mate. I bet you were glad to be underground in this temperature.

I definitly would be up for it, wouldnt know what to take though as my only experiance is industrial building where all that is required is a torch and camera.
Im also not far away at all.
