As I'm still recovering from knee surgery I thought that a few ladders might help so took my daughter down the spa mine on Sunday.
Couple of pics just about show the water level!
The pub now has gates across. It was closed when we arrived but a call to the owner sorted it it. He was happy to let us park.
All pics taken with my Iphone.

Evidence of Neanderthal man!













Here you can just make out the water level for future reference

Message from Neanderthal man ...... SUBS !!!!

Nice Pics Frank

Ian

looks like a certain someone enjoyed their adventure great day

If Mr Leahy sees those wellies he'll be very jealous! He's already jealous enough of my yellow pair!

I've just got back from showing a friend and her son Spar mine (with Ian) and the water has risen alot since the photos above.
Unfortunatly I didnt think to get my camera out and take a pic, but the water level is now about 2 feet from floor level (maybe 3 feet).



Tony

The water was virtually at floor level against Franks "pipe" in the piccie above

the 3 ladders you go down, where was the watter in relation to the bottom ladder?

A bit off, the water was about a foot from floor level at the old bridge hole, there was alot of surface water, none deeper than 6 inch.

it would be interesting to know how high the water is in the quarry next to susan shaft

it has dropped sinse between christmas and new year then, when we went the water was between knee and waste deep on that level

i'll nip and have a look as soon as i get back next week - and also will nip down susan to compare there too.
