Wheal Benny Visit

Wheal Benny..
A great field trip yesterday by Stephen Dockersy..thanks Stephen. 14 members explored the woods beside the Tamar, and found plenty of reasons to return for more "poking around". All rounded off by some great food up at the Engine House Bistro. 

For those that came along here is the Symons 1848 map extract showing the mine.  Waiting for some photos from John Gander now.

But...where did the flat rods go??????

An invite to a talk.

Here's a talk that will will be worth attending- arranged by the Caradon Hill project- It will include an update on what is going on up at Holman's shaft.
