Odin Mine

Cave / Rock Shelter

Fieldnotes

Odin Mine itself is 'very deep and dangerous and should not be entered even by expert cave explorers'[*], however, nearer the gate & the NT sign and probably more significant anyway is 'Odin Cave'.

I mistook this for being Odin Mine anyway but didn't spend too much time rummaging around inside for fear of falling down a great big hole.

Odin mine does hold many pitfalls for the unwary, but expert cavers who know what to expect do visit it regularly (me included). The way in is at the top of the gorge, but requires some tackle to get into the mine itself - basically, it's fine if you know what you're doing and what to expect but fools who venture in will probably be eaten.

The cave is quite safe , albeit very muddy as is the small cave above Treak Cliff cavern.
