I am "up your way" for this Thursday eve (12th) and intend to get underground and also perhaps meet in a nearby hostelry for a quick half of the local ale and a chat.  :whistle:

It would be good to get underground so I am hopeful of a good trip on offer for this evening. If not I will have to go and visit somebodies scrotty dig  :dry:

I realise this brings very little to the discussion on where but I thought I'd stick it on the radar in case it directs the trip decision towards a large dry clean walking sized hole rather than a nasty wet muddy crawly one...

Its a shame our new mines not in a fit state. Needs some re-engineering (well...engineering!)

don't we mean the little carpark on the right as you leave the village?

i.e. approx 200m west of the centre of the village on the RHS where the track forks off to the right.

this one....

I already had a look on Google Streetview and came to that conclusion...

Bloody scousers giving misdirection, probably thought they were trying to avoid the rozzers...  :whistle:
