Yorkshire/Shropshire Holiday
Day Five
This morning we got up to dry weather!!! We had decided that we would try and get underground today. We had a look at our options and decided that we would go for Pikedaw Calamine Caverns.
We parked on the edge of the road and followed the bridal way out to the cave.
The walk to the entrance was very much UP hill!! It only took about 30 mins. The entrance shaft had a concrete cover with a man hole cover in the middle.
Tim rigging the pitch.
We abseiled down the 23 Metre mine shaft and made our way down the passage running NW first and then the NE passage.
It was mostly walking passage with the occasional low section. A nice trip with some formations and an opportunity to get some SRT practice.
