In Duchy i am now confident i have explored the full mine, three levels, one requiring a small SRT decent through a winze, one being the adit level and the other requiring a climb up quite a difficult section of rock in a winze.
Risking this climb was well worth it and when i reached the top i found a place to anchor the rope so the others could ascend and we could descend. This led to a couple of passages and an impressive shaft, where in my opinion i took my best photo yet (soon to be printed and framed)

after this we headed back to Redmoor and back down the slope shaft i had found before, after venturing further in the area became increasingly unstable and risky, however a couple of us pressed on and we still cant find the end.... it just keeps going down!
Finally we went to one that Julian had been on about, he assured us it was mildly moist, and quite dry for a mine. How wrong could he be ;)
great place though, with an amazing stope at the end...
