May have to make it next year then; from what I gather there is also a few more mines in the area so once the windbreak and buckets and spades are out I should be able to disapear for an hour or 2 :)

May take a bit longer than that fella, we were in there for 6 hrs and could have spent a lot longer...
You need to allow a good 15/20 mins each way to get up and down the cliff aswell!

I have a dry sence of humour sometimes :D

I fully appreciate what's involved with any mine, suprised there wasn't an ice cream outside it though? After 15/20 mins descent I'd be happy for a 99.

I does look very good, I hope to hobble through some copper mines in the next few days if I can escape the family :)

Well the higher ways in are even more dodgy if you don't do heights. :rolleyes:

The presence of tin, iron and wolfram within the local geology provide for some spectacular colouring.

Indeed! I live about 10miles away and count myself as very fortunate that pieces of the geology form my living room wall.

That is really nice and a classy ledge too for rolling off in the middle of the night :thumb

Had a good old mooch around here today and thought I would tag a couple shots on which differ from the others.

The wind was something else, and trecking down to the mid-level access was certainly a challenge!

I am aching from the miles of walking!
