  Nice little video, plenty to see. I appreciate you didn't want to narrate where the mine was but you know you included the name in the title of the video, right? Looking forward to Part 2 - there did seem to be an awful lot of puffing and panting during ALL your narration - more steroids! :o)

  Sadly the quarry is already all over KZread with the name etc, so I don't think mentioning the name in the narration does any harm.

  Still eagerly waiting for the dive part 1 and part 2, you're keeping us in suspense 😁 Fir rhise of us who are nisy a d hoping to learn, pkease feed us as much info as you have patience to do, like water temp and if you canget away with a cave undersuit rather than full dry suit under suit or if the cylinders are 7s or not as well as pressure, why no oversuit to protect dry suit on a dive like this (and would that interfere with a shoulder dump anyway?). Sorry trying to suck every scrap of info I can. Thanks

  That cave couldn’t be in South Wales, there was no gate at the entrance! (Shock, Horror!) I caught the immortal words of the forgotten caver “I’m Stuck” - Of course, you never are (unless you are). Nice change to have the narration. You also appear to have forgotten one the very basic rules of caving, which is, attempting to prevent water from going over wellies is always futile - don’t bother even trying lol. You could, if you wanted, run some subdued background music behind the narration. Perhaps with some blasts of Horror sounds right after the words “I’m Stuck!” - keeps the old ticker going for armchair cavers (or stops it altogether). Looking forward to part2 ….

  @@patterdaleminecave3545 So, it’s not really about what I prefer, more what works for folk and what you like to do yourself. All the stuff I did was really just vanity videos, I wasn’t bothered about views and I never monetarised any video at all. If you are doing your videos because you enjoy them, then stick to what you prefer (try to do new things if they take your fancy). On the other hand, if you are soliciting views or trying to make money you need BIG catchy headlines and lots of DRAMA. In either case, you can use background music that is the same volume as your narration, except that, during the times you are talking, you drop the music volume down by 75% (like they do in movies). Of course, for that to be effective, you should aim to narrate only 50% of the time. It can all get to be too much of a pfaff though. So, stick to what YOU want to do :o)

  So glad I found this video, just so i can say thank you for all the work you`ve put into this place. I used to visit the copopermines valley and tilberthwaite area a lot when very young with my dad and have been fascinated by the mines since. we never went in penny rigg to far as it was always flooded, so for me to return a couple of decades later and find its been cleared all the way to the end, i was made up! Couldnt beleave the amount of work done.... and filling those ton bags stacked 3 and 4 high, god only knows how! So thanks again, brilliant! ......... one question i always wondered - i either read or heard years ago that you used to be able to pass all the way through to deep adit/horse level in the coppermines valley, do you know if this is true?

  Thank you for a lovely video, good that you focussed on the chambers to the side of the main chimney. I have done this dive many times, but never from the top down, which I think in retrospect had us focussed on making the exit rather than spending time enjoying the details of the ascent. We went about this with a different philosophy with a streamlined fast drop to the entrance through clouds of Barracuda, a careful but not overlong ascent, and by the time we were at the exit point the deco was clear. We hung around enjoying the view from the top of the reef at 18m , and just a normal gentle recovery profile thereafter. There is always plenty of interesting wildlife at Reqqa, pipefish and other pelagic visitors depending on the season, but the Barracuda seemed to be a semi permanent fixture every time we went deeper there..

• 
  @chrisg96275 ай бұрын

  Also interesting to see how equipment has led philosophy on this dive: As instructors back in the day, we had no access to twinsets or mixed gasses, and computer technology was in it's first generation. So for us, this was a well planned single tank bounce dive with plenty of time set aside to clear any deco at a very safe depth. There were wreck sites and other very interesting places, of which I knew the location, but the technology was not in place to explore them at the time.
