Coniston Copper Mines

What à wow of a day.
A full descent of the Levers Water mine, multiple abseils into seemingly bottomless voids, stepping across ancient timbers bracing unsure walls, minerals shining bright on those walls, unbelievable human toil visible everywhere.

Those of a nervous disposition will be pleased to know that whilst we referenced the mines of Moria often we didn't encounter the Balrog - and all who entered made it out into the light of a stunning day.
