Goeff reckons that short of falling down the shaft you should be OK
Yes, Geoff is one of those lucky people who has a job which he thoroughly enjoys.

Alan I have just had another look at the old plan, although the depth of adit level is not stated I would guess it's around 30 fathoms down from the shaft collar as I do know where the adit portal is so did a rough reverse calculation, the first of the upper levels is around 40 fathoms below adit level, I have the scale details for the plan and it says all level depths are referenced to adit level, this is normall for the mines down here as nearly all are quoted below adit level as that was the level the water was mainly pumped to.
Yes some of the civil engineering projects these days are mind boggling, I have always been interested in the tunneling projects.
