Last time you came out of there hoss, you looked like you had been rolling around in a giant bowl of chocolate cake mix !

Hi guys,

Sounds exciting count me in, I can't get a lift though this week though so I may have to cycle to Maeshafn .

Where ? I looked in both but couldn't find it.

Holy wet bed socks Hoss - he's right !

I will see if I can find any stuff on it and add it in when I have a few minutes (still got others to add in too )

In the meantime, here is a video of it ..

Please pay particular attention to the "squeeze" - on our last trip there were a number of people who could not get through - you can see who they are because they are in the film at the beginning but after we go through the squeeze they are absent.



Ian

Yeah I could'nt find it either tbh, how wet is the mine (camera taking wise?) and how long's this 'squeeze'?

Tryst

The mine is fairly dry, I can't remember actually walking through any water (that doesn't mean we didn't) - your camera will be ok if you can keep the cack off it.

The squeeze is in the video (Joel coming through it) - it is less that 3 feet in length - it is narrow and high so you have to go through on your side. I am sure you will be fine

Ian

PS. Evan came out covered in wet cack because he went through a mud lake that the rest of us were not stupid enough to go in

Sorry i thought it was on the knowledge bank - i will propose that we sack the trip organiser as he is sh*t.

Proposition rejected .... you should sack whoever didn't put it in the knowledge bank

YAY

I might come to this one again and get a few pics of the stopes before the squeeze, also Ian i would like you to take your camera and do some long exposure shots for me to give Cris if you would be so kind

If you stay off the kebabs between now and then you might fit through the tight bit
