We are a
group of friends that have been exploring abandoned mines since the 1980's,
predominately in the small village of Nenthead in Cumbria on Alston moor. We
are a society and members of NAMHO. This web site is all about our exploration, including
some basic history of the village and mines. To see the mines that we have been
to and our trip index, see Mines / Trip
Index.
Mine exploration is dangerous and you should only attempt it
with a club or an experienced group if you have not done it before. See
Links for details of clubs and organisations that you
can contact.
If you are a mine explorer feel free to
contact us for information. We will be glad to help
if we can and to place any links to relevant web sites. All the information on
this web site is a result of reading, surfing, talking, doing and
speculation.
WARNING: Bad air in Nentsberry Haggs Mine has been reported by
COMRU (13/07/08). At the junction for Admiralty Flats a number of lighters
would not work. The team was dizzy and tired until they returned to Brownley
Hill Mine. Please bear this in mind if visiting the mine.
