Throwback to a daring remote mine explore with Judith, Jen, Jenna, Leve, Kim and Matt. This one required a boat to access. Most photos thanks to Jenna and Leve – I was too busy to take them mostly Originally posted on this post on Instagram
Devon mine sough to explore sometime
14 October 2024
Here is a devon mine sough I'm going to explore sometime (probably not from here – there's an upstream entrance that looks marginally easier for ceiling sucking). On the beach there are obvious "caves" aka coffin levels, so I'm hopeful for what's available elsewhere. Coffin levels were these very distinctive shape mine passages like pic […]

Sam and I went to a mine last year
16 March 2021
Last year, Sam and I went to a mine near Matlock. When I visited this place last in January 2020 I noted that there were many spiders, antique bolts and only crawling available. So it was interesting when we arrived and discovered we only had two kneepads between the two of us. At the start […]
There are mines on this island Samantha said
15 February 2021
"Tim" said Samantha. "There are mines on this island.""Whoopsie" I said, as this sunk in. We'd just got off the ferry in Sam's van. Our caving gear, was back where we'd come from. Somewhere nearby was an Iron Mine, where the Ore isn't orange coloured like usual, but black. It was also the site of […]
Mine exploring versus caves
1 February 2021
The thing about Mine Exploring vs Caves is that whilst caves are naturally strong, Mines are always in a state of decay. Trip on some not level ground and you could be headed to hospital. Without having a paddy and this in mind, Sahil, Judith and me cautiously entered the mystery mine. Well prepared with […]
A socially distanced stone mine explore
6 December 2020
A pleasant socially distanced stone mine explore back around June time. In many ways a fairy disorienting boulder field but with some cool artifacts hidden away and a few mineralised formations. Originally posted on this post on Instagram
