GeoDays

Our GeoDays (Geology Days) are a guided introduction to the geology and minerals of Nenthead and the North Pennines. 

• 30th April at 11:00

• 28th May at 11:00

• 24th September at 11:00

We start with a visit to rock outcrops above ground, then we have a lunch break and follow this with a below ground visit to Carrs Mine. 

We ask for a donation of £12 per person for this special excursion.

• Trips are led by Society volunteers

• The first part involves some rough tracks and ground. Appropriate footwear is recommended

• The underground mine trip involes one short ladder climb and an outdoor walk to/from the mine entrance and exit - no babes in arms or baby buggies underground

• The temperature underground is around 8C and it can be a little drippy and wet or muddy underfoot in places

• We provide lamps and helmets (both children and adult sizes) and suggest that you wear outdoor clothing and footwear. 

Any questions, please email admin@nentheadmines.org or telephone 07494 497868
