Hiya and welcome to another mine exploring video. In this one we explore the coastal workings to the north of Botallack near St Just and try and find the location of some old photos that we found circulating on the internet.
These photos were taken around 1900 and show a mental ladderway down the side of the cliff to access the bottom adit. Unfortunately on this particular day the sea was really rough and it was high tide so we were worried an absail down to sea level could be particularly wet !
Hope you enjoyed this one and don't forget to check out my channel for more mine videos.

Very nice just dangling around here in the shaft chilling out admiring the view!
Lovely bit of granite stonework nobody ever gets to see!

Always a pleasure watching your exploits!
(Was getting vertigo during your walk in the grass above that cliff and foaming seas!)
Favourite part of the world down there!
Other cliff shafts can be found at the Levant site itself.
Maybe for another episode.
Great video guys. Brought back memories of dog walks when I lived at Trewellard. 👍
