Mine Adit Boat Exploring, down at Cape Cornwall Tin Mine. 

Cheers Steve, it’s a bit of fun. More to do when I get a chance !

🤣👍👍

Ha thank you, I have a few more planned but it’s hard fitting everything in at the moment ! Will get back on them soon hopefully.

Ha really ? I didn’t realise that. I knew there were further adits out on the headland but assumed they were part of the same set up. I think they have now been sealed ? We couldnt find any obvious open ones.

Ha ok, good to know. I thought maybe someone had sprinkled it in there on purpose 😬

Have you got a link to your survey Roy? I've got a few of them for different mines here in Wales

@@shonkytours2039 Hi Chris, unfortunately the one I did of these workings was very poor and did not include everything, and was never even digitalised. The best one I did was in Wales, Catherine and Jane, it answered a lot of peoples questions.

@@royfellows5468 yes, I know Catherine & Jane well being close to me in Ffestiniog. Was planning on going there tomorrow funnily enough, but to a manganese mine we found a few weeks ago, which is right next door to Catherine & Jane. (could actually be same mine, because so close.) It's well hidden in thick trees and found big spoil heap and adit with deep stope and sort of slabbed steps going down stope but didn't have rope to get down. That's why going back. According to 1890 map it's a manganese mine, but on that map, there's no mention of Catherine and Jane, but instead the mine is called Bwlch Y Plwm lead mine, and on 1860 map just slate works. Yes I know Bwlch y Plwm is other side of hill also called penrhyndeudraeth lead mine, so not sure if map makers have made mistake. I've been down to the pump rod in c&j but there is an adit about 20 metres up from cross road in road/path that goes in few metres, then shaft going down. Have you abseiled down it?? Was going to see tommorow but if no point then can leave it 😊 As for surveys/reports, Parc was up there as best, got to be one of my favourite places

@@shonkytours2039 Sorry cant recall this, my survey of C and J is just workings at adit level. Been years ago, one of my pics in David Bicks second edition."Old Copper Mines". There is also Pantywrach, it was me who dug the upper afit just above the road. Years ago a group from Portmadog had ago at the blockage in DA but gave up. Parc, the trip of trips is western Cwffty, I am meaning to do it again and get modern photo gear through, a bit of a challenge.v I dont reliably know whether the route is still open.

@@royfellows5468 yes can still get to cuffty. Instead of having to go down ladders and through deep water at end of level 2, you can now get to cuffty stopes up a ladder way at end of 2, installed few bolts to get across sheer drop stope and planks. Pity can't post photos here.

Cheers . There’s a few good ones down that way. Belan is a good one , but there’s still some nasty drops in it so be careful. And try not to annoy the locals 😮

@@BenoCam any of them see me they know what door to knock lol problem with living here😅

when I've learnt more about the mines and how to be safe with a trusted friend I'll start taking trips 😂
