Lake District Mine Recommendations

[CavingForLemons]

So I'm heading up to the Lakes for a few days this winter and thought it would be nice to get a bit of mine exploring in while I'm up there. I've only done Coniston mines in the region so far, so don't know the area at all well. I'll have SRT kit and ropes with me.

Does anyone have any recommendations? And any good resources for route desriptions/surveys if required?

Thanks in advance!

More coppermines, can never do enough, or seathwaite wad mine. Come down to furness and do some grotty iron mines like whitriggs or ding dong. Tilberthwaite horse level is a pleasant walk.

I'll be up in Cumbria visiting the family this Christmas (but taking all my gear). I'd happily join you for some SRT/mine exploration. Feel free to keep me posted!

There's Goldscope or Carrock you could consider, depending on whereabouts in the Lakes you'll be staying?

Hospital and Taylor's levels, or carry on up to the top and do the sketchy Leathers water through trip over "The Stemple's of DOOM!"
