Recordist's notes
We are here in an extremely hard to reach mine. We opened the gates, in aim to let the water going out. Indeed, this mine was completely-totally flooded. We are here the first to enter inside this tunnel since decades, perhaps more. This is here the sounds of the walls oozing. Water oozes from the walls everywhere and fall in tubes, collecting water. After our visit, we closed the gates and slowly, the water flooded the tunnel again, letting the mine to its quiet death.
