Huw, did you know that my real name is Hugo(?) of course you didn't - but it is my name - just for openers. Your descriptions 'seemed' to describe the Mines of Moria in The Lord Of The Rings by J.R.R.Tolkien, rather than that mine under the East (?) flank of Hellvelyn. I think perhaps, that Hellvelyn is turned on its head when it comes to Greenside Mine. At any rate I won't be going in there in October (last week of) too near the Celtic festival of Samhain/Hallow'een for that kind of fun (uggh!) Thinking about Yog Sothoth and other wierd creatures from eldritch regions of Howard Philips Lovecroft's mind... I'll be strictly taking photographs on Sheffield Pike and Glenridding Dodd - where I'll be living for a week as well as perhaps taking pictures of Forces and waterfalls in the area and the cloud base in good measure - I love landscapes and other nice stuff... linuxfanatik :icon_321:
