Polystyrene mine

Today part of the OLLR minex group visited a polystyrene mine.
:giddy:
Hanging Flat was a lead mine, once upon a time, but at some
point, before the entrance was backfilled, it has been used to
film scenes for television (Peak Practice?) and they'd left
several polystrene rocks in there. :confused:
The mine splits off into two headings - this is the left one.

Skip wagon body in the right one.

Looking along one of the headings, can't remember which but it
all looks pretty much the same.

Looking down onto a lower level. The false floor that we were
stood on at this point was a bit er.... dodgy.

The way in and out was by sliding on one's arse and slithering
through a gap barely large enough to get through.

Then we had a bit of a mooch looking for Red Rake sough and
mine.

Before doing some snow laning and showing the boingies, who
cried off and turned back, how it's done. Sadly there are no
pics of us on the epically slippery and tight hairpin bends on
this lane.

That's an awesome report, thanks. I assume you were up North
somewhere? I intend to be in an old Silica mine tomorrow - I
will have to remember the strong torch to take some pics!

tracks.
