Why don't we just save on campsite fees and sleep in the "warm and dry" caves

I would say abandoned mines not caves.

It's a bit of a mixture down around there but yes you cocky bastard they are mostly old mines!

[twiss]

Yeah thats a big ass hole... Did you jump?

[Jordi]

Ahhh wait til you are stumbling around in the dark we will see who is laughing then

Night goggles or not Twiss. When your pissed stumbling round in the dark is all the same.

[twiss]

I am genuinely excited for this weekend.

Still waiting on Andy to see if he has the LWB up and running for it though.

They are Quarries!

[Jordi]

Underground quarries? Do you lot have a different defination of quarry?

A quarry is an open pit used to extract stone and supplies generally for building material. Open being the defining word. Those photos were underground.

Apart from the one exception to that rule... Bath stone.

They are frequently called mines though.

[Jordi]

I wasn't making the point that all building stones / materials are quarried. But that quarries are bit open pits!

Bath stoned was mined!

"Bath Stone is an Oolitic Limestone comprising granular fragments of calcium carbonate. Originally obtained from the Combe Down and Bathampton Down Mines under Combe Down, Somerset, England"
