as you enter the mine system and go down the first small incline, instead of turning left through the small crawl, go straight on over a dodgey false floor you come to an open stope .this is where mick and myself are going. we are bolting a traverse line over the stope were we are hopeing to connect to an internal manway which should take us to the other side of the dig at the bottem of the bottom incline(hopefully):dry: :dry:

Hoss, I may bring my lad so I could do with a spare Lid too.
I'll come tonight if I get my car back or can borrow the girlfriends
Who's leading if its the 'round trip'?
I`m sure omeone will do it!!
I am intrigued by Mike Leahys description of another route down the mole hole. Does this mean there is a lot more to this mine than I have seen so far? Did you manage to make the connection you described above?

Thanks for explaining that Mike. Bella really loved Maeshafn, but I find it definately 'challenging'! - but getting used to it. Madmike took us into another chamber by turning left after the long straight corridor. Does your new route link in to the system surrounding the domed chamber?

if you go into the domed chamber at the top carry on as if your doing the small round trip then you can deveate half way round , go through a boulder choke and down a mud slide to end up back in the top chamber
