This was a really good trip, as it coupled a bit of detective work
into it. I had seen the Gin Wheel on another web site, and so we decided it
would be good to try find it. The area that it is in lends itself to further
exploration.
It is a bit tricky to find, you need to go along the
Scaleburn Vein and up the steps, the rest I will leave for you to find -
otherwise where would the fun be?
NOTE: The dug out sump (Reed's Sump)
in the Top Sill's which is the bypass of the collapse on the horse level is
only strong enough to keep the sump open. You should only descend and ascend
the sump using a rope ladder and life line. DO NOT USE THE SUPPORTS AS A
CLIMBING AID FOR FREE CLIMBING THE SUMP AS THEY ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH AND MAY
CAUSE A COLLAPSE. |
