This is the turning immediately after the main quarry entrance. It doesn’t look quite the same now, there is a high wire fence in situ but the lane is obviously still there.

Notes : Trip #1 (non-SRT) has an entrance shaft of, around, 60 feet with a fixed ladder. Some of the passages are small and squeezy. There is a short, rope assisted free climb and also an awkward slot down to the main passage. If you know where to look you can find pre-historic crinoids and, in the opposite part of the mine, a nice band of dog’s tooth crystal.

We could really do with a “leader” for this trip please.

This trip is suitable for novices with some experience, not suitable for debut cavers.

If you do fancy coming, please could you let me know either by replying to this thread. No worries if you don’t know.

Thanks !

See you soon…..
