Was open as a tourist attraction, complete with museum until 1998, so it was that dangerous then! All I will say to Mr McKay is if you are scared to go down, fair does, but others who do generally asses the risks & go go kitted out, they are not kids in shorts, a weak torch and trainers.

Ted Mckay was a miner till his bollocks shrunk and has been kept in employment within mining, long after the hardworking miners lost their.
He likes to pop up with quotes in the paper occasionally to make his presence known.

The comments at the end of the article are all for the explore :)

This one about the mine expert sounds about right!

"Ted has a lot of experience in coal mining but, unfortunately on this occasion, he has got it wrong. I have been exploring disused mines throughout the UK for nearly 45 years and I am still alive so I think I can speak with some authority! Slate and metal mines are completely different from coal mines. The rock is much harder and bad or explosive gas is very rare. I am sure that Ted said what he thought was right but on this occasion it wasn't."

You have to love the wording of these things. I hope your blasting didn't hurt too much :rolleyes:

these underground caverns extend for miles and the lower ones are flooded​

Done a damn good job of promoting the place.

"these underground caverns extend for miles and the lower ones are flooded.â€￾

riiiight, so surely that kind of restricts how far you can go unless you take diving equipment..... Think ol' Teddy needs to grow some gentleman's vegetables and butt out.

Good bit of leader live journalism there. Why is it that everyone is getting slammed and blasted in their reports ? The old woman sounds lovely to me. And probably not capable of slamming anyone at 80 ;)
