Great Stoney Traverse Trip Report

[Alex]

I think the final straw for the owner was that he blocked an opening in the adit gate that the metal thieves had made resulting in a party of 6 explorers being "trapped", when he returned later in the day he had to let the 6 guys out. The owner was concerned about being held accountable if anyone got injured, that and people damaging his property.

I heard they sealed it back up for him at-least. Again an official access agreement with a BCA insurance proof would have stopped this, as provides liability insurance. A good sturdy gate which can be opened from the inside would stop the other issue of people being trapped.

They did seal it back up for the owner after the owner told them they had to seal it back up. I've been underground many times at Mill Dam, the sad thing is that the mine has been vandalised, extinguishers let off, first aid kits opened and scattered everywhere, quite a lot of litter left behind. The few have spoiled it for the many.
