As we fancied something a bit different we opted for a ferret round Ball Eye Mine, had a right good look at lots of stuff in there and we even managed to find ant traverse the Sough level before making our way back out.
Trip time 1hr30

Nice one Keith, why was it different, any pitches? Was it a lead mine? Is it near Eyam? any evidence of mining activity? any mining artifacts?

About

There are many club organised caving weekends, with a mixture of easy and difficult caving.  Over the past few years we have given lots of people the opportunity to experience caving with our "Try Caving" events.  These are quite popular and quite a few people have subsequently joined the club. We have YSS members caving most weekends so it is easy for new cavers to tag onto the easier caving trips and find people to help with more training.
