Leave it with me ;)
What's involved in cabin shaft?
If I wasn't working, I would be up for Cabin.:(
I can't find Cabin Shaft in Knowledge Bank. I can't get the KB to alphabetical order either, is this a problem with Linux? If it is a shaft then is this trip for SRT ticket holders only?
Here's the link for Cabin shaft:
(http://http://ucet.org.uk/index.php/forum/21-knowledge-bank/687-cabin-shaft-minera#692)
It's a nice mine with a lots of crawling.
Its a double electron down to a large rabbit warren of a system. knee pads are recommended.
You will be belayed on the ladder down
You do not need SRT.

Thanks for that information Joel.
I think I missed a trip down this mine a few months ago, and probably feel better equipped for it now.
Don't we need to show our green cards to the gate keeper?
No Green card and no gate keeper John :)
.... I will be at the Spar mine :P
Don't forget Saturday - Especially Joel as YOU are the only one that knows the route !!!! :ohmy:
Ian
Im up for cabin shaft, is this trip on or offfff ?
joel you have my big flash gun by the way and i'll be giving photo advice in spar mine.
I'm still not sure about cabin shaft, may postpone it for a week?
Unless anyone else wants to lead?

That would be most helpful :)

John, use the forum search feature to find the info you want. from the forum main menu you will get the link, the only problem is the search box may be invisible but it is under the text "Keywords", you can even select which forum you want to search. very handy until the alphabetical order bit is sorted
i'll be at meashafn digging with smurf abd douge
Hendre Spar Mine photo trip, im very tempted by this, might roll up with my big camera and a bag of torch/flash units :) ive been once but it was yonks ago, this is pretty dry right apart from the lower level?
It is dry all the way through except for a short muddy/wet patch which does not breach wellies on one of the levels :) Oh... and the bottom level which is currently flooded to ceiling :unsure:
Right cool, ill come along :cheer: , be good having a photo based trip, we can pool resources B)
[quote="4737carlin" post=5266] we can pool resources B)[/quote]
Oddly enough, that is also the name of the photographer who will be providing tips ;)
Oh go on then. Spar mine it is for me too then. Will bring a wetsuit for the lower levels.

Unless the waters gone down a bit you'll need an aqualung!!

He's right!
The water on the lower level is not down, I was in there on Saturday. It's now coming up the short Tunnel with the loose stuff and pipe in it. I would say a 20-30ft raise over last time I was in wandering about the lower level.
It's not yet up to the split where you can walk between both holes into the lower levels though, but is getting up that way.
I may be coming to the spar mine with a couple of others, (still waiting for a reply) but they will both need Helmets and lights can someone bring a couple just in case.
Thank you
Hi John O
I normally carry a reserve of spare helments and lights in my van, but unfortunately I will not be able to come this evening.
Cancel that request, they are not coming now.
I maybe be down if I can get this coding finished.
Stop mucking about on forums then and get your head down !!!!! :evil:
Sorry Ian, just my mind in not on work (when it should be) I have other issues, lets just say it's A level results day :(
You need to get underground with your camera to cheer yourself up then ;)
That's what I said but I didn't get a good response :ohmy: so he's not coming.
Ok see you later - I will be there camera and all.
