Thanks Mike,I do recall that thread. I do have the survey of hut shaft,just interested if in the capping.

Thanks for the reply zomjon,it seems there has been some confusion over my question, perhaps I should have been more clear in the title. For some time now I have had a little project going at jugholes,members on here and aditnow have very kindly helped with info and documents relating to the...

Apologies,i should have been more clear,I was talking about hut shaft at jug holes.

Hi all,I wonder if anyone can shed any light on the capping of hut shaft?why it was capped in that way and who did it?thanks I advance MP

I know this area pretty well and would agree with AR about the limekiln. The location doesn't correspond with any vein lines marked on the bar masters map or workings for an adit to exist , the nearest is further down the road,visable in the qaurry face in the nature reserve which could be...

Really looking forward to this piece of work,I know how much History trog has put into it,any pre order options in the pipe line?I would be more than happy to pay.

Also I noticed there is a dig in the bank of the river at the confluence of ladyside brook and the manifold,scaffold shoring in place and some buckets in there,its not logged any where, can any one shed any light on it?

Had a bit of time yesterday so had a walk down the river bed from wetton mill to weags bridge refreshing my memory of the area. I replaced some grills and man hole lids that had been unseated and cleared flood debris.The river seems to have flushed some of the digs out,ladyside pot looks to be...

Scud on hear has already been in touch with John Gunn , I sent him some details via PM to pass on. I believe there are a couple of sough levels that feed into Hange brook which sparked the question.

Any one no if anyone is dye testing in the Wirksworth area,Hanage Brook is a nice shade of fluro green

Pretty sure Speleokitty on here was involved in the dig,maybe able to give you some info.I have not been down the dig but know the area well,very interesting and deserves further attention imho.

Not heard much about this site since Rick was digging there many moons ago,be interested if there was any updates.

Are we talking about the Same shaft AR?the one I mentioned is quite a way up above Ruggs hall

Not wanting to go into anything that's been done to death about what's down there,I was more interested in why it had been capped in such a manor. Did tarmac request it or was it for other reasons?

Really interesting place,couple of shafts on the bank above the terrace connect to,if you rummage around the woodland on the bank it is capped with a steel lid👍

Eye,the sign has been there for a while.lets hope the new owners are accomodating,be a real shame to loose access to this area.

After a bit of knowledge on this one. Twenty plus years caving in the peak and i haven't got in here yet. Given the stable weather at the moment we thought it may be about time we had a poke, we have our bca cards, any one with experience of the place please post up  :thumbsup:

We have been granted kind permission to explore mines on a farmers land. First adit ,we hit a natural pot with a sizable chamber visable at the bottom .what are people toughts on the approach to bolting this initially? we have disscussed the many options from concrete  screws to chemical...

Hi all,does anyone have a copy of this they would be willing to share?
