We have secured a private tour of these extraordinary Mines. Meet capacity is 12 persons. Various grades available.
An opportunity to explore theses rarely visited and hard to access mines in Arkengarthdale.
The Meet grade is “Difficult” due to some tight and wet passages through unstable ground.
The capacity for this Meet is limited to 8 persons, so it is essential that you contact Mark Hatton if you want to book a place.
Note – mine exploration is a high-risk sport and it is not possible to reduce all risks to a low level. CATMHS (a CIO) seek to support exploration in a safe manner while recognising that significant risks will remain and the safety of the activity will ultimately depend on the ability of the group and participants to take sensible actions to ensure exploration is conducted with a reasonable margin of safety. However accidents and incidents can happen and everyone taking part in this event do so at their own risk.
