Visited by Morrisey, R1, Boboil, Manx, Carabeener and Detritus.

I can't give too much away about this place or it's location, I don't want these superb coal tubs getting wrecked. But I don't think it's been visited or reported before.

We've called it "Sting In The Tail" Mine because it was protected by a wasp's nest and got most of our party at least once!

The place is quite extensive, so a return visit is on the cards.

A little but we had gas detectors, the air was very good and the place well ventilated.

A fair few collapses though.

Good stuff!

there must be a whole load of this sort of thing under Doncaster, although i bet it's deep flooded to the brim and/or gassed up...

R1's alive :ohmy :ohmy

Indeed, and ive come over specially after morrisey told me over the phone you were enquiring as to my mortality:thumb

Yeah, still alive and still exploring although its pretty much only underground i do now, got the mining bug very badly indeed and cant seem to shake it, hope you and the "southern lot" are all well.
