Report - Browns Folly Mine - Wiltshire - January 2020

[ikkdjct]

This was the first time I visited a mine and if I have anything to do with it it won't be my last time. I went to see Browns Folly Mine with @Oort who kindly agreed to guide me through the maze of passages. I thoroughly enjoyed myself down there and since I did not have to navigate I could just look around and take some pictures. Will definitely return at some stage.
Since the history of Browns Folly Mine is well known I shall not repeat it here and proceed directly to the pictures.

Thanks you for looking!

You got some really nice shots there mate! Was a good little mooch, sorry I was so ill and nearly brought the roof down with my coughing though!

Did the one of me turn out alright?

 

[ikkdjct]

Thanks again. Yup, will post it if you do not mind.

 

[Lord Oort]

Not at all. Stick it in people shots if you dont want to add it to the report.

How many miles do those passages go???

 

[Lord Oort]

Just a small one, approximately 24 Kilometers in total.

 

[Heavy.Metal.Spook]

Oh ok...the passages look massive

 

[Lord Oort]

Main passageways are approx 8 foot by 8 foot.

 

[Heavy.Metal.Spook]

Anyway the pictures are amazing friend

 

[Lord Oort]

8x8 is quite big. I was talking about the mine in general being small at only 24Km's. One round the corner is 60 miles!

 

[ikkdjct]

Thanks

 

[Heavy.Metal.Spook]

60 miles! WOW!

You did well down there; it's not an easy place to get well lit photos but you've managed it and some. Nice one!

Really I thought Browns was only a few Km Obviously know Box is far more substantial
