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:

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.
You want me to go down *there*? On a bloody *rope*?

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
