I think as staff we need to get some sun next time, well not even that as just daylight would be good. So the darkness theme continues. In order to uphold our mine leader qualifications, we have to revalidate and a part of that process is gaining more personal experience in new mines.
With this in mind, we have had a few quality days exploring mines near Corris. We have been to some great places underground, found a wide range of old items left behind by the miners ( such as boots, winches, old first aid boxes, telephones ) and practised a variety of technical skills needed to look after groups.
Some of the chambers visited have been hugh and exploring new mines you never quite know what to expect, even more so when some of the mines there are no surveys to follow.
One of the mines, meant going through water at armpit level ! thankfully it was only the one.
It does being home to us the amazing sense of satisfaction our groups must get they go underground on our courses, to visit such amazing places.
