Hello all, this is my first post so thanks for existing!
Years ago I had a look in the short mine level on the 'climber's path' of High Tor - it's more or less directly below the opencast workings of Roman Mine and but doesn't seem to have any physical connection to the higher workings.
I was up there with some friends on Friday night and one of them asked me what it was called - it occurred to me that I didn't know.
A little research through PDMHS back issues yesterday suggested it might be 'Hard Rake' (this from an article about firesetting); but I've also seen that a 'Paint Mill Adit', possibly connected to Riber Mine, is alternatively known as 'Hard Rake Level'. I get the impression that's a lot lower down the hillside, however.
Partly I want to know because I like to list the trips I've been on, but partly it's just 'cos I want to know and it's bugging me that I don't!
I'd be grateful for any suggestions people have.
Just as a heads-up, I have limited computer access so if you reply and I don't respond straight away, I'm not being rude, I'll acknowledge as soon as I can! Ta.
