Name of Level for the win.

 

[Trogger]

Priscilla Level , Gunnerside

 

[RobinGriffiths]

Priscilla it is.

 

[Trogger]

How about this one? Message was there on Boxing Day 1992!

 

[Trogger]

Five days and not one suggestion? Doubt whether the message will have been removed. Am inclined then to offer a clue: this is what you'd meet a bit further on...

 

[kay]

I know! But I googled, which is cheating.

 

[ChrisJC]

Sir Francis Level ?

Chris.

 

[Alex]

No idea as it's not a cave so wild guess Nenthead, rampgill?

 

[Trogger]

Received a message from Kay, she was spot-on with her identification! This used to connect with Sir Francis Level in the past before collapses.

 

[thehungrytroglobite]

I also do not know things about mines haha

 

[ChrisJC]

Well, used to connect with Sir Francis level eh?, intriguing. Sir Frances is at the bottom, all other levels are higher up, so would seem unlikely candidates to be that full of water. I am going for Bunton/Bunting level.

Chris.

 

[Trogger]

The deep water is where it connects to Hard Level.

 

[ChrisJC]

Bottom of the Brandy Bottle incline?

Chris.

 

[Trogger]

Correct! The same writing can be seen on this lengthy 35 mins video taken just a few years ago, at around 20 mins in (hope 'open link' works!):

And googling "acursed be the toad" "waggon" gives just one result

Report - - Swaledale Lead Mines 7 - Old Gang East, Barney Beck (Yorkshire, 2020 - 2022) | Mines and Quarries

A repost from the forum outage. Another long report on Swaledale mines, this one dealing with the eastern section of the Old Gang mine network - the western (Gunnerside) portion was covered in the previous effort (#6). Open entrances to the mine levels (adits/tunnels) are the red dots on...

and when you've got bored reading this, an in-document search for accursed skips you down to Brandy Bottle Incline.

Could be Ystrad Einion if someone has stood the kibble up (and there are rails just under the water)

Correct! Ystrad Einion it is. The waterwheel is obviously well known, but the kibble is quite nice as well.

Over to you Ian.

Chris.

 

[Ian Adams]

A little bit different, we are parked only 20 metres from the entrance (cave entrance is to the left and behind). I will post another clue in 24 hours if there are no good guesses

 

[Ian Adams]

Posted another clue anyway ... The formation is around 20 feet tall and is midway on a pitch of around 100 feet (give or take a few microns)
