Slightly off topic but it just reminded me of a trip I did there more than a decade ago. At the time, I did not know that Sump meant shaft in mining terms. My mates told me it was a free dive, so all the way around I was shitting myself that we would be doing a free dive in some flooded passage/shaft to complete the round trip.

In mining the term sump is used to describe a hole made in the floor of a level in a working, in the direction of a lower level either for the purpose of testing the trend of an ore vein, or for the purpose of ventilation.

Unless you're in the Peak District of course, in which case it's a winze.
