Mine Derbyshire Nov09

this is a recent explore that me nick his girlfriend both caving fanatics and edd again another person who loves caves and mines and djbinks went to
im sorry ive not put in the title what its called its just ive heard its on maintance and the owners/security our know to seal this place up
and this is the only way i could show this to you without it flashing up all over the net
and spoiling my revisit as i love this place been 5 times and bet ive only done 10 percent its that big
so please dont mention the name if you think you know where it is
got to say this place is dangerous and you need to atleast have a idea to wonder down here as its massive and very easy to get lost and wonder round getting more lost thinking you are coming out as it all looks the same
we had glowsticks to mark our way we also had helmets and food/drinks/enough lights to last a week lol
and a hand line and karibiners also 3 of our group our cavers and very experienced and also 4 of use climb and know how to use climbing kit

I have to question why you'd post in the first place if you don't want to draw attention to the site.

Rename your images because they are named with the name of the place.

Looks like this but I won't post the name as you asked.

main reason as i think its worth seeing and just dont want to draw attention from the wrong sort of attention
and the chances of someone who you dont want seeing it seeing it on a unnamed place is low but a named place on a search function is very easy to find

you got it in one did you see the lake
cheers for the advice mate il do it now

No problem; sorry if I came across as being arsey.

Those big halls look impressive in your shots. You're certainly well prepared when it comes to lighting

This place is amazing, seen it on 28dl before. Still amazes me no matter how many times I see it

It's been on the net since at least 2007 and is easily recognisable, but there is still access, I fail to see the need for secrecy.

i agree if you were looking for it via a name would be very easy, but if say you worked for the mine would take along time to find it looking without a name
also someone from another forum was shut in here after security found the access and welded it up so why make it easier for them
also access has changed twice since 2007
also just doing what i was asked to do by the person who originaly took me there nothing more
so what would you rather me do not show it or show it without a name
and im not being sarcastic just putting my point across

All of the above holds good for any site people may wish to visit, doesn't matter if it's a mine or a hospital or a ROC post.

If you have concerns about a particular place being posted with its name in public, it would be logical to not post it at all;

A) You'll end up with a discussion like this
B) Someone else will probably end up posting its actual name, just to be malicious
C) A bit of investigation will find half a dozen reports, some very recent which have the full name and several paragraphs of information about the mine.

As Mendo says, the risk runs with everything posted on a publicly viewable forum.

On the plus side this forum seems to be hidden from guest visitors; so only members will be looking here.

That long ago; time flies! I believe it was you that gave one of my fellow explorers some help with this place. Have a belated "thanks" from me

This place looks HUGE!

Thanks for sharing your exploration with us -do you have any more photos that you could share? -ta!

i disagree but dont want to get into a argument or discusstion
but what are the chances of someone finding it from the mine without a name very unlikly else they would have to go into 100000s of pictures of mines
but with a name etc it would be very easy
and for someone to post the name when asked not to would make them a complete bellend and i know there is people out there who would but again unlikly as most of the members on this forum who post are not like that
again disagree as think its well worth seeing if even without a name but like you say if a member on here whats to find its name they can but that was never my point of withhelding the name as i didnt what members to see it,more so its not easily found from a search engine

For what its worth Diehard, I think the shots are bloody cracking, You certainly have got a lot more guts than I have going into a mine!

True, but it has happened in the past unfortunately

To be honest it doesnt matter if anyone posts the name of this place or not. Its instantly recognisable, doesnt take a genius to figure out its name or location. Its own downfall in one way.

Give it a rest.

Excellent pics mate, we went there a few months ago. Ran out of time - again, so didn't get to the lake. Like the earthquake equipment in there.

Nice work,
