Epic weekend trip meeting up with a good set of chaps. Explored with Oxygen Thief, The Franconian, FazY UK, Altair, Urban Junky and Darryl. Tommo also showed up for Ridge.
Mines explored were Brewers Yard, Swan, Ridge, Monks and Box. Thanks to OT and urban junky for doing the guiding. Those maps really are very good, and we covered a lot in the two days. I definitely want to get back there before too long.
I have decided to do my report with a selection of photos from all of the sites combined, as I didn't feel I had enough good quality ones to do separate reports from each site. I haven't done much underground photography before, so it was great to practice with mixed results. I freely admit my photos won't be of a great standard, but I like to put a report up all the same. Thanks also due to TF and urban junky for carbide lamps and some proper decent home made lights/torches. Last 3 are shots with the iPhone.

A tired miner
