Many surface explorations are super interesting from a mining perspective. It's an amazing place. Thank you!

must go have a look at that !

We live in England, so the measurement should be in miles NOT kilometres 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Still plenty of Ore left untouched for some reason.

Beautiful and mind blowing geology. You then start to think where did all that lead go and is any of it still around today.

This place is absolutely astounding thank you for sharing😊

Amazing location...and some great drone footage.

What is the name of this mine? It is amazing and thank you for sharing this experience

I worked at bentinck pit as a deputy. For 6 months I was with the blacksmiths and would travel on top of the shift...incredible and dangerous times bit loved itb

being exposed like that really helps put the mine in perspective, it's like a real life 3D model.

Very impressive video showing what looks like a great site to explore. Much as I love your underground stuff, it's good to see what stuff would look like to us mere mortals who don't venture underground any more...

Always enjoy the quality of your footage and your explanations of the history Thank you 👍

Stunning location! Very interesting history/ geology lesson thank you! ❤😊👍

Always enjoy a stop there and a walk around, the geology is fascinating being able to see the vein from the outside

Hi friend great video the landscape is amazing please keep the great videos coming. 😊

Weardale, County Durham......I love where I live...

Gotta be careful there, its a clay pigeon shooting range too 😅

Wonderful as always

From Italy 👍💯 ok Ciao

Great video and a fascinating place, looks like a sleeping dragon from certain angles 😊

Awesome as always 👊

Great, enjoyed watching

Remarkable images! Stay safe fellas.

Is there any reason why you can't/don't take those self rescue oxygen generators when you know the mine might be dodgy?

An almost magical little feature.

Hi lads, enjoyed this 2 parter very much! Peter takes the lead very well in explores nothing phases him but he does know his limitations as do you. Enjoyable for us viewers though i think an endurance for you with the oxy levels being low. Glad you got to say goodbye to Bob! 😂❤😊👍

Your asking for trouble I hope you told someone where you went ppl get rescued

Another amazing explore. What I find noteworthy is the lack of any litter or detritus left behind by the miners. Hardly any is ever found. Nowadays (above ground) it’s literally everywhere you look. I’m not thinking McDonalds cartons obviously but bottles they drank from, cutlery or clothing, candle holders, mugs, things they dropped, coins, clay pipes or whatever. Do you know why?

Me again, (your DDMS spirit guide). The step up and walled end at around 14.40 was originally the top of a climbing way down, connecting to the lower part of D2 Vein now accessed via the ladder under the wooden bridge. For many years, a local outward-bound centre used to send the kids down there as it was an easy clamber. One day we came in and the whole lot had given way and blocked the rise! Fortunately it had self-choked in the tight bit near the bottom, but we installed timbers to prevent further movement. The wheelbarrow (always makes me smile when I see it) belonged to my auntie who died in 1986, it was in her shed in Darlington, and was going to be skipped, but I thought it might be useful (it was) when we were digging out the shaft under the bridge. It was subsequently moved inbye where it has remained ever since and acquired a modest sort of fame. It is possible that it originally came from the quarries at Holwick, as my uncle worked there between the wars. Keep up the good work folks!

If the oxygen levels are low going through, will they not be even lower if you return through the same section? Do you have to bear that in mind when exploring? Great explore, if somewhat nerve-wracking!

The Tadcaster Brewery could refer to the Samuel Smith's brewery. Founded in 1758 it's allegedly Yorkshire's oldest brewery and predates the neighbouring John Smith's brewery by 94 years Although brewing of beer is supposed to have been taking place in Tadcaster since 1340 Very colourful and enjoyable explore with lots of potential to be Killed By Death (very kind of the sulphuric acid pools to highlight themselves in red) Thanks guys 👍

Good morning and was so pleased you said goodbye to Bob on the way out. Well seeing that tower brewery bottle stopper just made me smile thinking that's from my neighbouring village and the brewery is still going although recently there was a fire there so not sure if it's reopened yet.

Maybe carrying a small oxygen tank and breather would be a good idea? That way you can at least get out of bad air, and if necessary, help out the one in front if they come to grief.

Well done, good to see this mine portrayed in video. Upstairs is an absolute multi- level rabbit warren, with crosscuts and rises everywhere, looks like a ladder in plan. Speaking of ladders, that one by the blue pipe is 2/3 or one we 'liberated' from Whiteheaps mill in the mid-80's and cut into 3 joinable sections, to get it round some of the tight corners. The third section is in Prouds Sump (Hangingshaws L.) Shame to see the entrance dig so broken up, could definitely do with some TLC, but at least you have a 2nd exit! The kettles were often used by the miners to top-up their carbine [sic] lamps with water. I've a photo somewhere of Jackie Parmley with one at that mine with the hanging shovel. We put in the blue pipe to try to de-water the next section before the shaft with the long steel ladder (DDMS 2000) 😊

Looking down into the Deep Dark.

Great video. I've been in bad air before so I understand the laboured breathing when just walking along normally. The first time it happened I didn't even realise how deeply I had been breathing until I got home and watched the video (complete with the loud panting) on the PC. Bad air effects people differently, the cameraman was right to hold back when he did. Pete was lucky he hadn't got much further when the Oxygen level dropped or it could very well have been bodybag time. 👍

Just stumbled across this video I was hooked straight away! I know nothing about mines so probably an amateur question I was wondering what ochre (guessing thats how you spell it!) is please? Never heard of it before! Stay safe and cheers i've subbed for more!

Amazing lantern.

Incredible artifact! Low 02 is scary stuff! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦
