Hi Guys

Has anybody got any images of the Adit entrance so when we go in a couple of weeks we know what we are looking for . Also how far is it away from the lower Adit Ie the first one you get to with the rusty pylon type thing laid on the floor  and doesn't go in only a few meters then to a large chamber.

Thanks in advance

Paul

Is the Spion Kop adit the one at the top of the ropeway? I have a few photos of adits but couldn't tell you which one it is.

I've uploaded a few images of adits on the link above.

To be honest Alex Im getting mixed up as well moss head or spion kop, its the one with the huge drop in this link. We have been in your image three on the thread and videoed and it was mighty disappointing. Check it out on our YT channel Patterdale Dive & Cave  named Old Man of Coniston bottom adit

The chamber with the blondin in? I've definatley been in it, and to the bottom of the big drop as well.

You should be able to find it eventually, we got to it by just randomly wandering about in the snow. We didn't even walk back down, just slid down on our arses in our waterproof suits  :LOL:
