Underground So Far....

A couple of trips underground so far this year and an exploration of Scaleburn Vein at Nenthead planned for later in the week will produce a subterranean start to 2015.

Last Saturday saw a return to Bull Pot of the Witches for the first time for several years. It was good to be back in the Yorkshire Dales and after breakfast at Inglesport we entered the pot hole via the chimney climb and took an abseil down the cat hole to access the passages below, a brief exploration of these long dry galleries and a visit to the gour pools rounded off a nice beginning to the New Year underground. There are some photos from this trip in the previous post.

Thursday was a day with a difference as a group of eight of us, one or two old friends and several new acquaintances, headed for Greenside Mine at Glenridding. It was a trip led by CATMHS entering the mine at the Lucy Tongue level. What an excellent day - this mine has long been on my "to do" list its a real gem so a big thanks to Warren for making this possible. There are a few pictures below and maybe one or two more to follow.
