Box hill mine

i was invited to go down the mine here..having not really done much underground.i was a bit unsure what to make of this..making the four hour trip there,we all met up and made our way to the entrance.a crawl on our bellies to get in there and I was already excited.the mines here were excavated for the bath stone,comprising roughly of forty miles of tunnels.we did get to see the main things.the cathedral in the cave.the robots,the cranes,and the legendary red door..I could hear the ventilation fans going behind.this was the most frustrating part..knowing what lays behind that door and really wanting to see it all.we spent six hours in here.wading through mud and water.and clambering over and under rocks.i was shattered when I came out.but I would not change that experience for anything.this was more of an explore than for photos.but managed to get a few shots in there.

Lovely selection of photos, it can get a bit 'samey' down there, and is obviously very dark, but you've done a fantastic job lighting it!
Brilliant, thanks for sharing your adventure!
