CME Expedition 16

Location: Skien, Norway.
Members: 001, 002, 003, 007.
Type: Ironmine.
Status: Abandoned.

Still out in the forests west of Skien city, we decided to check out what is said to be the biggest of the old iron mines out here, the Breigangen mine. They started mining this particular site sometine during the 1600's.

Rumors have it that this mine has a depth of about 67 meters (220 feet). The lower parts of the mine are filled with water, but coming close to the fenced in areas of the shafts you can still get a good impression of the size of this thing. While here we were talking about, making guesses as to how long time has gone by since anyone last explored the accessible parts of this mine. Who knows? Well, enough talk, let's see some pictures already..

Hopefully well be back here one day equipped with good climbing gear and the proper knowledge on how to explore this type of site safely. If we do, we'll be sure to take some pictures for you to see.
