Anyone visiting Wapping in the not too distant future might notice the entrance area has been enlarged and there is a fair bit of smashed rock around. You don't need to report this to anyone, it is known about already. This was action needed to fit a stretcher through on a rescue shout that DCRO have just returned from. It's not massively bigger, and there's still a bit of spidery acrobatics required to get in and out. The DCA Projects Officer is aware (and partly responsible!).

I'd also recommend taking a bin bag on your next visit, it's a tip in there (not from the rescue!).

Always wondered how a stretcher would manage the entrance! Hope the rescuee is doing OK and the team are all safe and well.
Littering and worse is a perennial problem for this interesting mine - will be taking a bag for litter on my next visit
