[dc4536]

Hi, would anyone be interested in coming with me to explore some of the old mines around Derbyshire/Peak District? or if there’s anyone already planning to visit some. Also got a few in North Yorkshire/north wales I’m wanting to go to at some point. if anyone is interested send me a message. Thanks

Easiest way is to join a local club:

New To Caving - You'll always remember your first steps underground...

Caves are a fascinating part of the great outdoors and their exploration is full of adventure. As with many activities there are risks. Good preparation and learning from the experience of others is key to caving safely.

If you aren't an expert then the Derbyshire Caving Club control access to the Alderley Edge Mines (copper and cobalt). They have installed many fixed aids to make visits much less risky than the Derbyshire lead mines. They also have lamps and helmets at Alderley Edge and will provide expert guides.
