UCET Trip Advisor

Howdy Doody,

Here are the details for our next Thursday night trip;

Susan’s Shaft & Mine
This is a trip down into Susan’s Shaft, descending around 50 metres (there is a rebelay) until the adit into the workings. A good old wander around an exploration of the underground will offer a chance for some great eyeball moments. A rare treat as this trip is not seen regularly with the UCET circulars.

Meet Place : Parking in the country lane
Meet Date : Thursday January 13th  2022
Meet Time : 6:30pm-6:45pm onwards
Suitability : Suitable only for SRT Competent cavers
Requirements : Wellies, overalls, helmet, lamp, gloves, Full SRT Kit

Parking Note : You can see the “Public Footpath” sign hidden in the middle of the picture. There is also parking in the lane a little way behind the camera. The Nearest Postcode is CH7 5HR (this is a house, not the meet point but it is close by)

It would be helpful if you could let us know if you are coming  B)

Thanks !

See you soon…..

Strangest public footpath I've ever seen. And I'm looking at the photo but can't see the sign. Guess it's on the other side of the obvious post.

just a quick update parking here on the map s difficult 1 car at most ,but if you carry on down the lane and turn left on the the main road that goes to the old quarry entrance you will see a footpath next to the 1st bungalow on your left plenty of parking here, follow the path until you see the marker tape i will have put up follow this to the entrance.
also 2 x 50 mretre ropes or 1 x 100 metre will be required for 2 people to descend and ascend at the same making it feel a good feel factor  just incase you were to have a bit of trouble or feeling lonely, mick

So only one rope is needed for a single person ? Do we get off at the very bottom or traverse the adit that is 3/4 down?
