This all-weather activity takes us deep underground to explore a secret world of hidden passages and magnificent caverns, an area that was carved out years ago by the miners, in order to extract the precious green slate. The start of the course is steep and involves some vertical climbing, though this bit can be easily avoided for those that don’t feel up to it. After some fun climbing along the steep cavernous walls, we cross a wire bridge and pull our way up the metal rungs to reach a second cavern. We must cross the challenging postman walk, before exploring more of the hidden tunnels that pepper this historically bountiful mountain. Eventually, we emerge from the tunnels to a spectacular view of one of England’s highest and steepest mountain passes, Honister Pass. We then descend back to the bottom of the mine via a series of tunnels. 

Suitable For: Though much less exposed than the other two options, this route still requires a reasonable level of fitness and will take approx 2.5 - 3 hours to complete. Under 18s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and children must be aged 10+ years and over 1.3m tall.
