Thanks for watching!

Another enjoyable video showing Rampgill Vein to good effect. I noticed you decided not to show the works in progress to stabilise the fractured roof arching at the junction of Rampgill Shaft branch, this job is now complete and hopefully will stop the roof from collapsing and blocking the Level. You were wondering about the 'zip line' across the Shaft; this was used to transport filled sandbags across, having sourced soft shale at the foot of the ladders at the end of the drive, then brought down in the barrow. The rubble core fill of the support structure was taken from Norpex's packwalls just inbye of the toilet box area and brought down the level by barrow (about 100 loads!) The ladder in the rise shown at 16.47, just outbye Boundary Gate reaches an extensive Flat, which connects with North End String, thence the wire ladder beyond Rampgill Shaft. As of 2023 it was still safe to use, if a little terrifying! Keep up the good work

Great, thanks for the info

The heavy cast iron weight found just after Telephone Junction is a counterweight off a points switch lever. From memory there's an intact one further inbye at Hradshins junction.
