"I'm always the one to go first because I'm the slightly madder one out of us or It could be that the guys say I've got the most experience in this sort of thing. I was slightly nervous about this beacuse we could not see the bottom even though I'd thrown a couple of light stick down there (I stuck a couple of knots in the end of my rope). This hole is in the region of 200 feet deep and full of shit at the bottom. The hole is a lot deeper because there are ladders sticking out from under said detritus.
You could put the dominoes in here with room to spare, even our own Nant Prysor Viaduct is smaller then this.

"When the Milwr mine drainage shafts where built and particularily the Holywell vein the water level dropped by over 200 feet. Many of the Friarys and Abbeys lost there water source shortyly after. We where a little taken back to see the size and depth of this place HUGE. It can be seen from google earth . There is a second shaft that may be even deeper but that will have to wait for another day when the feeling in my arms comes back."
