Raven Mine

[Madness]

If I remember it correctly, the passage way that goes off at the 'eyehole' away from the flooded shaft has a free-climbable raise (up flowstone). At the top of this is a flat passage heading off somewhere. It's been dug/is being dug by someone. There's other natural passage that's well choked, that might yield something.

Yup - Some of us Orpheus lot had a (quick) look at that particular dig (myself included) some time ago, probably early in 2017. We removed some of the floor and managed to push forward a couple of meters, to a point we could get a better view of what lied ahead, but the consensus was that it didn't look to inspiring. We meant to go back and push it a further, but got distracted with other things.

The flooded Shaft below the eye-hole is has also received some attention by Orpheus over the last few years, on and off, as it depends upon the water levels. I've not been involved with this particular project, but if I recall correctly, it does drain away, and I'm pretty sure the depth has been extended a little. I'm fairly certain the digger(s) do periodically check the water levels with a view to continue digging. I'm think they've had the odd poke around elsewhere in Raven too.

Anyway, if anyone is interested, pm me, I can put you in touch with someone who can give you more info.

As Pipster already pointed out, the wet shaft below the eyehole has been extended.it was noticed by the diggers that there was a false bottom to the shaft, so we collapsed it and found that there are possibly two ways on... Water levels stopped play. It's an X on the Orpheus digging calendar.

Pipster, you need to get back in there with Pete
