Had a evening trip down Gentlewomans the other night. Judging by the nettles and brambles around the shaft top nobody has been down it for a while.
Anyway, we had no intention of doing the through trip, so we just had a mooch about in the workings.
A couple of things caught my eye and raised a glimmer of interest:-
Near the bottom of the shaft, just past the muddy section through to the main workings there's a fissure that appears to be backfilled with rocks and sand. There looks to be enough gap above the fill to crawl up the fissure. Does anyone know anyone who's been up it?
Next. Down the pipe past the short climb down with the fixed rope and through the first tight bit is a chamber with a shaft. There's animal bones and rubbish at the shaft bottom suggesting it's open at the top. Is the shaft top accessible?
Just before this shaft there's a natural water worn shaft on the left with a constriction about 30 feet up. Is anyone aware of any exploration of this?
