Excellent - that saves me looking it up!
All I would say is that a single test, unreplicated - and having used only a tiny amount of tracer - shouldn't be considered 100% reliable. But at least the information's there for folk to make what they want of it.
The main reason that test was done was because we were looking upwards in Far Sump Extension at the time, trying to work out how t'owd man had got in there. Speedwell was the main contender but there was always a chance of a surface mine shaft having dropped in. It would be a further decade before the non diving link (via JH) would be achieved, immediately removing the all pervading sense of remoteness which used to be very apparent in far Sump Extension.
Just for completeness, we also tested the stream which sinks into the choke at the bottom of the 30 m deep Vortex 3 shaft in the high levels - expecting it to emerge from Stemple Highway Inlet Sump 1 - but we lost the dye. (SHIS1
was a sump of course in those days, until the JH stream was diverted down the Boulder Piles. It's hard to imagine when you pass through that gritty dry crawl nowadays.
It's just dawned on me that mine shaft test in the triangular field was
30 years ago. Blimey, how time flies . . . .
