Coniston Copper Mines, Through Trips.

There are a number of demanding through trips that can be made in the Coniston Copper Mines. The routes had deteriorated since they where first pushed and installed in the 1970's and 80's by CATMHS. Thanks to Tony and Wendy who spent a great deal of effort in 2007 re-rigging them, some are open again.

These mines present a serious danger to the inexperienced and should not be entered without a knowledgeable guide. For further information contact CATMHS via their website www.catmhs.org.uk
