if you go to it most weeks would you not know if it had new doors or more to the point recongnise it,
danger you really dont want to mess with ?
like
drops,rock fails, getting lost,god knows what chemicals,
we always carry rope and karibiners 4 of our group are cavers in yorkshire and have done over many mines,
we mark are way with glow sticks wear petzl helmets never touch what we dont know carry food and drink and first aid kit ,
this doesnt make us safe but we take as many precautions as we can

i would not worry too much about that,
as the sign is a precaution else why were the workers allowed down there as i spoke to a man in the local pub who actually did work there and he told me the above also the mine has very good airflow at times you can feel it on your face

To be fair there are lots of warning signs there

 

[diehardlove]

lol very true and if we listened to all them we would not do anything including climb the headstocks go down into a mine go in any building with a asbestos roof or board or anywhere that had any sort of electricity or chemical, most is just a h,s society gone wrong

What is it in the village? Subsidence or something?

 

[The_Revolution]

Mud slides, mini earthquakes?

There's a really good fish and chip shop in the village but I don't think that's dangerous.

There is nothing down there that will watch or track you in any way, there is a decaying old seismogaph and some lights, that's about it. And all the CCTV stuff is only around the main entrance where the C+M crews enter.

lol you seriously having a laugh
2 points mate where does the power come from for these transmitters when the power to the mine was cut when someone stole the wire and got fried,

second the only thing down there is old hps lights THAT HAVE NO WIRE GOING TO THEM ,and seismic boxs used when they hit the lead vein to check if there was any movement and anyone who thinks they are still used check the cable ends as i seriously doubt anything will ever plug in them again,
I have spent 9 sessions down there each at 9 hours a time for the purpose of mapping part of this mine,
whats this thing you talk of that looks like a fence ??
have you still got your copy of contract of employment with the mine or any payslips or any tax documents as id love to see them

this thread is going way off track

Yeah, this place has a shroud of rumours around it, if blaster did work here, he might know best. But having visited it recently, I know there is no danger apart from the nature of the place itself. Anyway, I'm not for arguments on forums
