Evening all,
Just got back from a short trip into a little mine level by the Climber's Path on High Tor, more or less opposite the car park with Youd's Level in it. Not far from the railway line. We spotted the entrance a couple of weeks ago and a mate & I thought we'd have a look, expecting not very much. Turns out to be quite a long, loose level, quite high in places, with a crawl under a big pile of deads and then a couple of digs going on at the end. Does anyone know if this mine has a name? There was a side chamber with lots of huge calcite crystals, and a lot of soot, which goes on through a tight crawl. It's a nice little spot and I'd like to find out more. I can't seem to load a picture of the entrance but it's to the right as you come down from High Tor, there's a path leading to it, and the entrance is just over a foot high and three wide.
