BARNEY CRAIG MINE Obvious
adit next to the Carr Shield Bunkhouse, formally the mine shop a mile
from Carr Shield village. The long 1100 yard (1000m) adit leads
to workings that connect to the far reaches of Rampgill Mine. It may be
possible to undertake a through trip from Rampgill to Barney Craig
which involves an abseil through a trapdoor. On this explore we went
along the main adit as far as a dig site after which the water became
deep in a low tunnel and there was a risk of excess carbon dioxide.
WARNING: There is a risk of bad air in this mine. An air monitor is recommended.
