Dear Mark,
Well, I need say no more on the matter really, since I have made my liking
plain! Maybe I should have replied off list I suppose on this, but when you
mentioned the clogs u/g, I have heard things said. Sadly, most of the old
miners I knew in Weardale/Teesdale are now gone (as also all the working
mines now), however, I was over there for a rest from the hotel last weekend,
and I intend to spend a bit more time over there in the near future, so I
will ask about and see if I can find anything more on superstitions. I am
sure I can!
Your experience is a caution, the demise of the caver you mention is very
sad. Some might say coincidence, but I never take chances!!!!!!!!
Regards, Bernard.
