    Aberllefeni Slate Quarry book by John Knowles

    Picked a copy of this up the other week. Mind-blowing account of this mid-Wales slate quarry mine. Anyone else got it?

    Aditnow.co.uk

    Nothing lasts forever on the internet, but Aditnow was such a valuable resource and as a newbie to mine exploration really pivotal for me when I was getting into exploring mines three or so years ago. The database was superb and yes, some of the pictures were a bit shonky, but then again, not...

    Beginning Mining

    So much fab info on here. For me it's a good pair of wellies, good spec helmet and head torch and good hand held torch. Then another spare torch and a spare spare torch. Without light you are Freddie Hucked.

    Snowdonia copper mines on TV

    Parc Lead mine info

    Evening y'all. Just seen another post on the mine about loaded wages on a sub level having just read the same report on this. Got a more straightforward question. Am close by to the mine on my Easter hols and fancy having a shufty. Got my wellies, torches and hard hat. No SRT though. Plus I...
