Some of you who speak to me on Fb or chatbox may have sussed i recently got a passport and also have been learning to abseil...This is the reason ive been doing the abseiling,saw this first several years or more ago and thought ive got no chance of ever seeing this!How times change..So all passported and roped up Myself SpaceInvader,Urbanginger and Obscurity set out to have a crack at this..

The shaft pics i would have liked to have done better but due to heavy rain on the way in and back out i wasnt risking the camera for a better shot!Big thanks to Si for the helping hand at the top dragging my knackered body over the final push!!

On with some pics,i seem to have got som elense flair going on so a return is in order.

Neverused to have to mate..to much attention was brought to certain methods of access due to partys and large groups and they have made good of doors/hatches etc..didnt walk every square inch of the place so there may be "other" doors ways in etc..but abseiling was the obvious easy choice and fun!!

this is a great place for photos well done for cracking it ...the reason its abandoned is they built it to small for the trains lol....they suggested turning it into a route for cars but as there's no emergency exits so that plan went out of the window .Every once in a while its opened up for he public to go down and have a look for a charge of course i was told 30 euros but don't know how true that is ..........
