Hi All, I've done a lot of reading on here about the Honerine. I'm possibly heading out tomorrow afternoon for a little exploration and still have a few questions that I know the forum can help me with.
First: I've explored the main level of Honerine but hear on MU that there is a side passage by the ore cart that links to a stope with a strong air current. I somehow missed that. Also, in the back we found arrows pointing deeper into the mine and then up a shaft to higher levels. How do you access the upper levels that people have obviously come down through? We were up there on the hill above, a month ago, and found several vertical shafts and several slope shafts (that all ended collapsed). Tomorrow we are thinking of dropping one of the vertical shafts on the hill to try and access those upper levels. Can you point me in the correct direction as to which shaft would actually access the mine? We could spend hours climbing in and out of the wrong shafts, getting nowhere...If I can avoid that, I'd love to... I don't want to waste time hitting dead ends that have already been hit by explorers on this forum.
Second: do you know of any lower passages in the Honerine mine? The Etherington winze is supposed to end at the 600ft level, but do you know if there are other levels prior to the 600ft level? Was Jeremiah Ehterington correct in thinking that there is another level 50ft or so down just passed the bend in the winze?
Any info would be much appreciated!
