It was an Open Day at Wood Mine, part of the Alderley Edge Copper Mine complex, run by the Derbyshire Caving Club. Karen and I had booked a trip for today at 11:30 and we drove over in the morning.
After being taken around with a party of mainly children led by a DCC member called Paul, for about an hour, Karen was talking to Nigel about arranging another trip in the future. He suggested having another look around for the two of us and gave us a copy of the survey and pointed out a suggested route to follow. We took advantage of the offer and had another hour's worth of looking around Wood Mine. It's a very interesting place, largely walking with a little stooping and a short bit of crawling. It is completely mined with no natural voids and was mined for many years for copper.
