Today we had a little jaunt to this old mine. Not big but lots of interest, a good explore with friends

Just a few quick snaps from our trip to the dark side. No eclipse here, or moons either. Old lead and later fluorspar mine 😍

Today we visited a drainage level and found a snottite deposit. It was dripping in two places, with the slower drip causing the snot to bounce 😳
