some great pics there clunk.i would of said you had the weather for it but i would guess being under ground it dosent really matter.
:lol: is that water in the cave it looks so clear. what was the building was it a old house ? |
||
| Clunk |
It is water and it is very clear and blue. Also very deep. If i took 2 steps forward I would of sunk 800 feet. The building Is on Dinorwig slate quarry, Which closed not long ago (early 80's I belive) It was possibly a canteen or some form of work hut. | ||

800ft :shock: :shock:
do you normally strip off in the country side :lol: also io have to agree with the 4x4 comment/ |

| Clunk |
Yep, 800 feet deep. (man made) Wasnt me that was naked. I took the pic though. (Long running joke between friends) I so want that range rover. But £70 to fill tank which gives you no more then 300 miles, It is a bit too expensive for me to run. |

Over the next few day's, I shall be re-arranging my photobucket account into albums. This means that any pictures I have posted so far will be lost. I will provide admin with the new link to the winning photograph for the winners album, and will attempt to edit all my posts to replace the pictures as I go along. | ||

Where were they taken Clunk | ||
| Clunk |
Ridge quarry Near Corsham. NGR ST874681 | ||
| Local lass |
are they used for anything now? | ||
| Clunk |
I use them for exploring.
Some of the mines/quarry's in the area are used for various things. The old munitions storage at monkton farleigh, are used for data storage. The mine next door to ridge is owned by leafield engineering, who supposedly make warheads for missiles. The mod still own spring quarry which contains burlington, which is the decoy emergancy government seat in the event of nuclear war. Now abandoned but still the mod pay for its upkeep. Also in the area is tunnel quarry. Roumor has it that this is the uk's answer to area 51. Unlikely, but it was used for underground storage of mod equiptment. There are a couple of other mines in the area but are all unused now. |
