There has been quite a bit of rainfall over the last week. Water in other mines has gone up substantially in the last week.

Hopefully it will go back down.

Thats interesting as we thought the water had risen slightly the day we took the measurements.

As at 17th Dec - the water has risen, roughly, another 2 feet in 1 week.

I would guess the water is now 2-3 feet deep as you step out on to the rail tracks at the bottom
