Does anyone do tours of smallcleugh mine? Went there during an outdoor ed residential at Weardale house and was hooked. Would love to explore more of the mine.

I don't know if any more any planned for this year now, there are some for the smaller Carrs mine in August on their website

NMCS have done a Smallcleugh trip and the idea is on the things to do again list though nothing planned at the moment.
There are Carrs trips tomorrow afternoon though that is rather short notice and the wrong mine!

In the absence of anything scheduled, I am happy to do an ad-hoc trip for interested parties so let me know. I am up there most Sundays so sorting a date shouldn't be difficult.

As the Nenthead Mines Conservation Society we don't currently do mine trips on a commercial basis but instead ask for a suitable donation to the NMCS funds, currently £5 for the Carrs mine trip.

Ah good, I suspected you might offer, but I didn't want to go bandying about your name without asking.

Thanks for the information. Very helpful. I would be interested in any mine tours and the carrs trip sounds very interesting. What dates have you got scheduled? I would also like to take you up on the tour of Smallcleugh on a sunday. Coulkd I get back to you with a date as I am working the next few weekends. Cheers.

The last scheduled Carrs trips are 12th to 15th September.

Feel free to get back about a trip to Smallcleugh, and the same goes for anyone else of course.
