Fascinating day underground discovering Cornish tin mines
Cornwall Underground Adventures的点评
点评：Three of us had an amazing day with Ben in two tin mines in the Cot Valley near St Just. Wheal Hermon is an ancient mine, and Bellan was worked until the 1940's.
We range in age from seventy to thirty five, and in experience from none to fully trained caver.
Ben had prepared both locations to ensure that we were absolutely safe throughout, yet were challenged in different ways. He coaxed us oldies to do things we never though we would; abseiling, traversing, wading through water in an adit, then finally climbing a flexible caving ladder.
Ben is extremely knowledgeable about Cornish mining, having spent countless hours researching in books, maps, and documents in the public records office, and popping down holes in the ground whenever time allows.
He was able to explain in detail how the mines were worked, and the minerals they contained.
Perhaps the highlight was extinguishing our head torches, sitting underground and experiencing complete darkness and silence.
He then lit candles for us, as the miners would have used, which lit our way back to the mine entrance.
We ended the day buzzing with exhileration; tired, but glad we had risen to the challenges he set us.
Have a go; it is great!

翻译：我们三人和本在圣贾斯特附近科特谷的两座锡矿度过了精彩的一天。惠尔赫蒙矿是一座古老的矿场，而贝兰矿则一直开采到20世纪40年代。
我们的年龄从70岁到35岁不等，经验也从零到训练有素的洞穴探险家都有。
本负责准备这两个地点，以确保我们全程绝对安全，但也带来了不同的挑战。他引导我们这些老家伙去做一些我们从未想过会做的事情：绳降、横穿、在平巷中涉水，最后爬上一个灵活的洞穴探洞梯。
本对康沃尔郡的采矿业非常了解，他花了无数时间在公共档案馆查阅书籍、地图和文件，并在时间允许的情况下在地上凿洞。
他能够详细地解释矿井的开采方式以及其中蕴含的矿物。
也许最精彩的部分是熄灭我们的头灯，坐在地下，感受完全的黑暗和寂静。
然后，他像矿工们一样为我们点燃了蜡烛，照亮了我们返回矿井入口的道路。
我们兴高采烈地结束了这一天；虽然很累，但很高兴我们接受了他给我们提出的挑战。
试试吧；太棒了！
