Dinas Silica Mine

[dangerous dave]

Dinas Silica mine in the Neath valley was used to mine sillica for use in firebricks from 1880 to 1960.
The main 3 adit's are dry but some of the side working's are flooded and sadly we did not have time to explore the full workings and missed a few cool bits shown in previous reports.
Apologies about the pics as the tripod was giving me massive camera shake.
thanks to capt slow for the assistance on this and the lighting
