That collapse you came across in the crush, I'm pretty sure the tiny hole leading through was excavated by Team Pasty back in 2009 in a self-rescue. They'd passed the crush to explore the workings beyond it, and on returning found the crush had collapsed while they'd been underground. Thankfully they were able to dig that hole and make their way out. So probably a good thing you decided not to try to squeeze through!
Didn’t know that, we did squeeze through it, as we got to the plank of doom. It’s pretty tight and not sure how much longer it will hold up. There is another way into the mine further on so worst case you can exit via another shaft
@@cornishxplora yeah I was thinking in my head that eventually you'll probably need to go down each shaft to explore one half at a time, either side of the crush. It's definitely not long for this world and the really bad thing is that I think I'm right in saying that's the main drainage adit down there, so presumably a bad enough collapse could cause some flooding.
@@bulletz9280 yeh the main drainage adit, not sure where it drains out or if it just slowly drains through the ground. You’d have to float back to the surface 😂
Is this a recent explore? it looks really wet if it is. Last year it was completely dry going through the crush, the bridge was 4ft over the water, the winze down to deep adit was accessible too.
Yeah this wasn’t to long ago back in June so fairly dry period. We was surprised at how wet it was… Be a good trip to do with you one day with some one that knows the place better.
@@cornishxplora Yes, that would be good,, maybe do a through trip, I don't know that end of the mine that well, but the other end I am pretty good with. Just over the bridge is the climb up the incline shaft into the other end of the mine, just the other side of the blue waterfall.
@CornishMineExplorer that would be really good. Make a full day of it. Let me know a time the would suit… possibly fairly soon before winter arrives…. 😁
Some explore - wow…hard core brave explorers. But IMO much more professional video without all the F**** swearing….doesn’t improve the sentence…just saying…best intentions.
Hi David Thank you for the kind comment, and I do apologise if there was any swearing. I always try and keep it PG or to minimum editing most of it out. Your comment has been taken onboard. Thank you
@@cornishxplora that’s fine - thanks for your response…it was mentioned with 100% my best sincere intentions. You are amazing - great channel…and your explores very educational. I guess I’m an abandoned mine video addict - subscribed to all the main channels; and I have ventured down a few myself but just those open to the public. Please take care….!!
@@madeinyorkshire52 can I ask where you are from? And there’s many channels to follow especially on abandoned places and a few Cornish ones as well. Thank again for you comment. Comments like yours go along way.
I’m in UK - I’m mostly following the US mine channels but lately I’ve subscribed to yours and a few other UK ones; especially as I’ve visited mines in Cornwall, Wales and Yorkshire. Been down many that are open to the public.@@cornishxplora
Happy exploring chaps, and thanks for the shout out. Daz 🙂
Haha was that you down there… 😂 Daz everywhere lol good man. 👍🏼

Awesome video awesome adventure
Thanks mate. Brilliant mine and still lots to see in there. Stay tuned for part 2 👍🏼 all the best
Excellent video my friend, that shaft was crazyyyy
Thanks mate. This was a long trip, hard to squeeze it all into 30minutes

Is this a named mine and when did it close
Hi mate
It is a named mine yes, for safety reasons I can not put on here.
I am happy to share on another platform.
It closed around the mid 1900s
