You cannot do to much tidying up their the more you keep walking around the more holes appear at the hanging wall !Down and Beyond, I thought you were helping look after this place? what a B****y state you've left it in. Someone needs to tidy that lot up
There is a solitary loaded tipping wagon on a sub level ABOVE level 2. After you go through Roy's dig and crawl through the three collapses the passage carries on towards the ore diversion truck. There is an old ladderway nearby (can't remember whether is before or after the truck) which is bereft of the the bottom two ladders, but there are compressed air pipes heading up. Follow these and you get to some ladders in fair condition. At the top of these is a side passage which leads to a short passage parallel to and above level 2. There is a loaded ore wagon there. Given its location and the fact that there is no-where for it to go forward or back - its a bit of a mystery. There is a photo on the CAL site.Has anyone read an old trip report for parc mine (N. Wales) that states there are some loaded wagons on a sub-level? Requires some SRT to get there.
Can anyone confirm this? Cheers
Indeed!, on the Reservoir Lode / Hafna Lode branch if I recall correctly.There's also a wagon underwater on a flooded incline off Parc 3. You need to hold a decent torch below the surface to see it, and to do so quickly before the mud that you've stirred up clouds the water.
Yes, there is a lot of stemming cartidges there. Rock dust made up into 'sticks' with old newspapaer. This is what gave rise to the "tons of explosives " nonsense a few years back.There is a solitary loaded tipping wagon on a sub level ABOVE level 2.
