Description
In answer to comments on previous pictures "Yes, we do have fun!".
When exploring underground you never know what you might find, digging through a roof-fall in an old mine might reveal old mining equipment, tools (sometimes pre-Roman!) anything!!
While it can be a bit dangerous, if you take care it's usually OK ! However accidents do happen ... so I thought you might like to see an image taken on a rescue practice - the guy in the stretcher is waiting to be hauled to surface (about 30m above), but the ropes got 'crossed', so he'd been hanging a round for about 30 minutes - hence the bored look, we let him out eventually and he climbed out himself !!!
Cheers
