    Arrow Dinas Silica Mine.

    Not so much a report but some fresh pics of a well trodden mine.
    Longish exposure with 300 lumen LED light.

    Lower workings.


    Water level.




    Main haulageway.



    Looking up-dip.

    Nice to see you too. There are at least 5 in that area if you count the Dinas mines as Upper, Middle and Lower.
    Not sure of any different names but there is the tunnel down to the lower workings (opposite main mine), and one on the far bank of the river a bit nearer the car park.
    There are also at least two in the valley that runs up from the Angel Inn.

    I think the reddish shadow in the foreground of some pics is my shadow, (lamp was set up behind).

    Thanks for the pic comments. I've been a pretty broad based explorer since I was a kid in the 1950s, anything interesting really.

    I think to many of us know the feeling
    There's just something about mines and mining history that I can't tear myself away from!
