Question - Middleton mine derbyshire any info?

[Praada]

I’m planning on using a drone to scout out other possible entrances but also to try and trigger the sensors. I want to see how and where they disable the alarm if it’s done outside or inside. Also if triggered enough times with no one around they may get irritated with it and shut it off temporarily. A bit optimistic maybe. I only no of the Jurassic gate entrance I’m yet to explore other ends but the drone will help with that. I took a few snaps yesterday myself but it wasn’t Secca security there it was NVC security.

If you need any help, give me a shout, I've been all around both ends, and spoke to security at both ends. There is a certain time on a certain day, when they left site and didn't come back for hours! Hence where I got all my photos from (busy at work will try and post some later or in the morning)

Do it via pms lads if it involves dates and time,and try not to give out too much info on this thread as it is viewable to the public aka security

 

[Praada]

yeah I wont go into details publicly

It's not a good idea to go tripping the alarms in the hope they just forget about it. If anything, they'll ramp it up. A drone will do nothing for you if you haven't got a survey. It really is best left alone unless you've got a decent plan, because chances are you'll do more harm than good.

 

[Praada]

You are right on that, the security are persistent and constant. If the alarms continue to go off, I'd bet my house on it that they would just set up camp in the quarry rather than disable and move on.

For now I’m going to be doing observations only and getting some drone footage. Obviously I don’t want jeopardise things for other people.

You might want to look into blinding pirs

A nice upside down cardboard box might work as well

Got to be honest here
Middleton is a bit over-rated

Once you get past how massive it is the passages are all a bit samey and it takes fucking ages to get around unless someone has a car or bike

Oh the blue doors where i must have taken 20 shots trying to get it right ,but with a large group of goons,i mean friends waving torches around it seemed pointless..Yet i went back and carried on until i was semi happy with a shot..

still not happy with it

Everyone had to wait for ages while Steve repeatedly tried to get his shot

Oh your memory seems different to mine,it was as much people waggling torches while i was taking my shot meaning i had to retake..pretty sure that was the case

The blue doors were used to direct air to stop the tunnels getting too wet/dry, air was pulled about from the large bank of fans at Hopton end. There's quite a lot of interesting stuff to see down there but you've got to know where to look and it's a long way without a vehicle!
