Through Trips

With most of the mines in the Nent Valley it is possible to link into other mines - in one and out the other or even through more than one. You can do Smallcleugh to Rampgill, Capelcleugh to Smallcleugh and Rampgill to Brownley Hill, or if you are feeling like puting yourself through a real grovel you could do Capelcleugh to Smallcleugh to Rampgill to Brownley Hill to Haggs and back out in Brownley - hummmmm.
