Talking of thistle pot..... a few of us had a look at that about 5 yrs ago. Its got a Clwyd cap on now but we did some late night exploration and had the cap off. Martin Grayson descended on a couple of trips and he hauled out a few large chunks of rock but Martin didn't seem that keen on pursuing it, but anyone interested in this would be wise to ask Martin what its like now. We also had a look at the deep winding shaft about 50 yrds away with the gin circle and half centre stone that has a 8ft square grill over - this went to about 60m depth with no levels off and was blind but we assume infilled as Martin said there were deep rope grooves from hauling only a few feet from the bottom. Alas on a 2nd trip during the first credit crunch we got caught by farmers wife whilst 2 suss members were down the bottom having a poke and got an ear full.
