Itinerary
After putting on the safety gear we will walk the 10min to the start of the course, passing through some of the old mine tunnels. We then start a unique underground adventure inside the caverns of Honister slate mine. Similar to a Via Ferrata you will climb the walls, scale bridges and tackle wobbly ladders in this subterranean world. An adrenaline filled adventure climbing / scrambling activity that uses a permanently fixed cable for safety and protection up the rock face. This is the perfect activity regardless of weather.

We had an amazing morning with Woody for our Climb the Mine Experience, was a great into to Via Ferrata and we can't wait to come back and try the outside routes! He was also kind enough to take a load of photos as we went and sent them all through to us that evening.
Would highly recommend for anyone visiting the area as something really unique and works in all weather!

Climb the mine is an inside Via Ferrata with a zip line. It’s requires some level of fitness and a head for heights. We climbed up a couple of caverns and walked and scrambled through some tight spaces. Andy was our guide who was good fun.
We booked into the 9am slot and so we’re lucky to have a small group with only 5 of us. We got to do an extra loop because we had time.
We prepaid for the photo package, not sure this is worth it though.
Would definitely recommend this activity if coming to the Lakes with teens.

We went for a six person climb in the mine with Woody today which was absolutely brilliant! It was a great activity for a foggy day in the Lake District and a brilliant way to have a great day whilst social distancing. Just the right amount of difficulty for us six adults (30-36) and full of interesting learning about the mines along the way.
Thanks for a fantastic experience!
