What can only be described as an epic trip. What was designed to knock off the tin mines of the west country has only left me thirsty to see more of it, even after a full weekend of mine exploration.

Many thanks to the people on this forum who helped me with the info on sites, whithout which very little of this would have been seen!

Us... tin miners for a weekend.
