There's some very obvious quarrying off to the east of the road not far above Hardraw.. Stags Fell I think. You can get underground in two or three places there. Nice enough if you just fancy a poke about.

Not looked at any of the lead mines in that neck of the woods.

If they were the ones very obvious from Hawes I think we spotted them from the pub last year and went over for a look.

The cafe where the bikers go? Smashing breakfasts, especialy if your ambitions for the day don't go beyond being very full and moving very slowly. 😉

been for a look around today weather was wet and windy. Interesting site its the first time we have seen a roof slate mine. They must of been brave to have dug out such large areas and just rely on stacks of deads to hold the roof up.
