Winford Redding Pits

22nd August 2015

With Rob Taviner, Alan Gray, Dave Hardwick, Pete Flanagan and Kate Patch.


Spent some time exploring the largest of the accessible mines (pictured above) before dropping into the small mine next to it where Alan, et. al. did a quick survey using Distox. After this we went along to explore another mine that I don’t recollect having visited before. I first explored around here about 45 years ago when the Redding Pits were still in operation.
