Yet again another trip to minera with reddood, andyj and one non member. This time though we went further and deeper than weve been on previous visits in fact a lot further. This mine makes a bigger and bigger impression on me every time i go, its a spectacular and just gets better the further you go.

was a pretty cool day, it was good to finally push through the squeeze.

I'l not bother with my pics though as they are more of the same.

I'll have a dig through the 200 or so pics i've got of this place tomorrow, when my eyes will focus again.

i need to point out though for anyone thinking about it, while the entry pitch is simples, maybe 40ft, you could easyly get caught out on some of the others, plus the false floors and suspended ceilings, as well as the very precariously stacked rocks make negotiating some of the routes quite sporting.
