box freestone mine june 2009

hey all

thought i would pop my first post up

had a top weekend, got an invite from OT for box on sunday, now this was my first time in box and it turned out to be a good day

meet up with a couple of other 28days members and headed on to backdoor, which i was surprised how dodgy looking it was when i was going through

straight in to cathedral for a quick photo shot and meet up with a couple of others that where also there looking round, so after a quick chat and an invite to join us the 9 of us set of for a good look round

headed straight throught the mine over to the robots and a quick bit to eat, then round the corner to a stupidly small hole in a fence for me to get through, the ones that no me will no i am not a skinny lad lol
but to be fair a bit of pulling and shoving, and minus 1 t-shirt i was there!!

then back round to see some of the cranes in the north east, and then back through to backdoor was a good 7 hours down there

all in all was a good explore, didnt spend much time taking pics as i wanted to get a feel for the place and learn my way round

meet some really nice peeps that day, cant wait for some more box exploring

so here are a couple of pics from the day

changed the channel to fishing as well

Fab photos, tommo.

Top explore! I want to do a mine so bad, theres a few around my way but done a mission the other week and could only find an old winch house, steel cable and a cart, i think the shaft/shafts have been filled in even though they are on the os maps.

Well done tommo. Good shots. I can definetly echo the bit about being a big lad too!. It does sometimes make things a little difficult when you try and get through a hole or over a fence!
