@@jezpayne3245 Thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed watching, hopefully these videos will give you an idea of what’s under your feet when you are walking over the Old Man ⛏️
I'm guessing some of that was on fixed rigging & other bits were pre-rigged for the videoing trip? That level around 12 mins, I was just thinking, that at least this bit doesn't look like you,re on a false floor - and then you pointed out the sides!!
@@MrShotlighter Thanks for your reply, the trip route is pre rigged and has recently been replaced by members of CATMHS (local mine history group) Some areas in the mine are bolted by other explorers who are working on their own routes. And yes the walls in Earthquake Passage are pretty sketchy to say the least! Thanks for watching! ⛏️
Great explore. I’m fascinated by the Coniston mines having walked over the top of The Old Man a few times. Thanks for sharing.
