Quick write up by our Chairman Gary about todays visit to Jacksons Mine.
Hi All, todays meet was attended by Daggers (winch), Arthur (banks), Tom, Tom HB, Ryan (prospective member on trial day), myself and some guy asking if they wanted any kitchens fitted claiming to be Paul Barsby.
Myself, Tom’s 1 & 2 and Ryan were the underground team, we first went to have a look at the dig faces starting with eastern promise… I took the pick axe down with me and decided to cautiously peel back a couple of rocks… anyway an hour later and a bit of careful negotiating we made a break through to now lose rocks that looks like it stopes up with more loose rocks in the roof… plenty to go at here… it definitely goes on but we need to make it safer before progressing more (video to follow).
We then went for a look down golden syrup and then off down in the rise end direction to the chamber of death.
We all wrapped up with a pint and some food at rising sun afterwards.
Special thanks to Daggers for having everything set up (I arrived at 9.45 and it was ready).
