It’s been great to see this! Thanks for sharing. Is it just the copper that creates all the blue? And sounds like it’s not so much as it used to be.

Absolutely awesome mine that place, I love it in there.

scurion torces are great, that accent tho, 🤣🤣

Wow that torch is huge

Tim's little mineral stiffy 🤣

best to go in a mine with someone not just you pard

Dude 😀 this looks fantastic, i'm seriously thinking of semi-retirment in Cornwall inside the next couple of years, you got me wanting a bleedin kayak now!! 😀

Many years ago before i had any ropes or gear, that shaft had a haphazard series of ladders and a chain hanging down the centre. A few places the ladders didn't meet and you'd have to swing across on the chain like tarzan. There's a really nice traverse section with a chain hand-line but the chain was rotten 35 years ago.

My mate almost walked into that open shaft a years or two ago. The "smell" eminating from it made him stop and upon parting the gorse realised hed alsmost walked into it

A little intro lads, history, age,depth or distance and general location - i used to live in Porthtowan and even I know zip about this mine

I was there a few weeks ago and wondered who had been having a go. Wont name the place on here but can tell you that I explored it in the 1990s. It opened up to easy walking and I was optimistic but then started to close down to a choke. This was about half way up the valley at the location of the first shaft on the right looking inland. It looks from the video as though more stuff has moven down as you are just inside the portal, so a complete waste of time. The people at the tin works own the mineral rights and dont like people going underground in that area..

That gangway area is pretty awesome!

Jesus they properly blocked that back up, who did it the council

Maybe they're not bothered about you, its the people with no clue who they're bothered about.

You wonder why hey won't let you wander in there?

Go back with some mates and clear it all back out!

your green hair will scare the trolls

Fk it dig er anyway 😂

Few years ago we were exploring a mine at a beach near Charlestown ( now sealed by a cliff fall) and one of the lads sat in a naturally formed "mud/goo" dam, causing the thing to blow. Err we ended up with a bright orange stream flowing out into the sea. For all the enviromentalists , the orange mess did dispappear in an hour.

We met last night digging out 👍 my partner shook your hand and we are watching your progress 👍👍nice to meet someone more Cornish than me and that’s saying something 👍😀

Okay RUclips. Thank you.

You cannot beat a Tim Fail

🥸well done

I really struggled with that squeeze at the start, still can't believe I got through it even now!

Brilliant 😂😂

Awesome!

Nice one and a reward at the end!!!

Tim as the grace of a herd of left footed elephants. His boat entry technique was the best.

was Tim having an orgasm, anyway tell him I have a new camera if he wants to see I am at the campsite.

i see our early days of climbing and buying hooks and rope back when we were kids carried on lol luke raggatt here mate

How deep is it the part you went down?

WELCOME TO THE ADVENTURES OF RETARD AND OTHER RETARD

the children yearn for the mines

Brilliant 👌

Used to go down there every time I visited Botallack now getting very dodgy

When is Tim not digging for rocks, Tim the rock botherer.

I have nothing but respect for the miners who originally dug out these mine shafts and the people like yourselves who go down to rediscover the mines an bring them to our attention. Personally I would go down there as it would scare the c**p out of me. Thank you for your efforts in bringing this to everyone.

Hope Tim doesn't die he still owes me some red sphalerite and local amethyst

Great green hair

A bit further in past that collapse in Hazard adit is the section that Thyssens cleared from Allens shaft in 1985. If the tin price and LME hadn't gone south you might have been able to go right down the diagonal shaft in the dry....

Any idea how deep it is?

What was the point of this trip???

Great,😔 20 mins of some idiot fucking about on a ladder, And 48 seconds and 10 ft of mine shaft 👎👎👎

Nice one guys

That’s a bit sketchy going down

Thats a work out getting back up ❤

'Promo sm'

Was that a flooded winze or stope on the left through the widow maker

Myself and a few buddies are back down there in May/June, not myself but some of the lads might be interested in a drop down a shaft or two, me I stick to the horizontal these days with the bad knees.

God Tim's getting quite a lot of RUclips exposure recently, I hope you put up a warning, don't want him scaring the kids. 🤣
