Mines #35 - March 2011

[sYnc_below]

Plan A was wet and we really needed a boat, nobody had the balls to see how deep it was so I waded on in anyway just to find out. It was thigh deep, cold and I wasn't wearing waders, seeing as I was now wet I pushed on for a while to see if things dried up....they didn't.

We aborted and switched locations to Roof Fall City and I tried out a new toy recommended to me by a well known drainer (thanks for the tip in the unlikely event you are reading this...), a portable LED array that uses 64 LED's on full power or 36 LED's on reduced power, it has a 'daylight' colour temperature of 5,500K and outputs 480 lumens. I got it wrong really and placed it too near the shots so the backlit shots are a bit overcooked, next time I'll try diffusing it or placing it further away...

Usual rules apply...No names, no locations, just pictures of somewhere. Don't ask for locations because I won't tell you, just enjoy the shots.

Thanks for looking

Yet another set of first class pictures! You find some great places, thanks for letting the rest of us see them.

Grand photos, I like the sound of the LED array.

Lol! That is pure hard core exploring! Well done, and great pictures - thanks for sharing.

Very good - what are those purpley blue deposits? Quartz, fluorite or just plain old ironstone,?Maybe even tin? From the look of the pickwork, I would say some explosives and then hewn with drills, so probably not that old and could even have been used commercially in the last 20 years. But then again, I could be wrong on all counts I do love a good puzzle...!

how far did you venture in as it must be pretty wet down there at the moment?

Very nice, well lit shots. I especially like the pic of the flooded tunnel

 

[Parkus.]

Fascinating, as per usual

Could the blue/purple be calcium carbonate? Although saying that is looks more slate-like.

Nice explore and pics. I hope I can find somewhere similar in my neck of the woods in Dorset.
