it was already there and anyway was only used to get into the very first part of the mine which is only 10ft in
the rest of the mine is the place you need harnesses and rope
which we had in the car

Hey diehard, I thought Runner's comment was pretty funny, nice sense of irony! It didn't seem to me a personal thing, and I reckon you did the right thing by going for some rope - it looks nucking futs!

Nice explore, particularly for me as although the idea of going into a mine appeals to me I think it'd freeze at the top. "I ain't goin' down no hole!" in a BA Baracus stylee.

How far down did you make it? 50' of rope + ? Is there much to see other than the hole in the ground - you mentioned microwaves and stuff - have people been using it for a dumping ground or something?

 

[diehardlove]

yeah ive edited my reply as ive got the flu and really grumpy after i re read it i sounded far too harsh
and could see it was only a joke not a dig


we went 50ft got the bag then decided to come back another day with more kit as need electron ladders etc and i had not bought any with us,
as you go into the entrance its weird as was tvs beds,microwaves and 100s of old shotgun cartridges but the place is miles from anyway i think the owner of the land has had it dumpted on his land and decided to get rid of it this way

Dude this was some fuckin' trip haha. Please dont go dropping bags done mine shafts again my arms still ache from getting back up there! Haha can ya pm me a non blurred out version of the last pic you posted of me in teh harness lol.

mmm poundland I recon then.
Get a few packets of bootlaces plat them all together into a superlong economy rope then use that to desend all the way to the bottom.

Also could bring some hosepipe but not to use as a rope but incase there are any flooded levels then can use that as an air supply back to the surface diver style and do a full explore of any levels that maybe under water.
Now based on the ethos of pics or it didnt happen I recon a 99p disposable camera tied up in an old condom would make a suitable underwater camera to rcord this epic adventure

Lol nah its fair call as you have to entrer into the spirit of it.

My take on it tho is youve either got balls the size of mellons or are trying your hardest to get a Darwin award.

hosepipe and a mineshaft drop of almost certain peril...
Rather you than me
