Coal and Fireclay mine - September 2010

Amateurish Boneheads Grovelling mine

This is a coal and fireclay mine that myself and a offline friend discovered. We have searched on-line and found no thing with regards to reports on this mine.

This place is very unstable and is a big health hazard not just from collapse but gas is rife in there. Also due to that and the contents, security (who had us on our way out - keen is all I can say) and the present owner (we have arranged a meeting with to get more info if possible and also to try get permission to re-enter and map out) we are keeping the location 'top secret' (if anyone knows the location of this place, please keep it secret as neither you or I dont want the place blocking up).

As I am very giddy about this place I have decided to put a very small sample of pictures on here, to give you all a taster.

oh exelent, good to hear. yeh they might, but with all this cost cutting etc you might get lucky as they won't want to spend anything without needing to. just make sure you guys are safe when your in there

Cheers mate, my worry is about any liability on them if anything should happen. The group I go with (3 of us in total), they are cave rescue and we take all the gear we would need (4gas etc......)
