Alderley Edge Copper mine trip 21st October

[Joel Colk]

I have organised a trip with Ed, the secretary of Derbyshire caving club. He has kindly agreed to take us around wood Copper mine on either the  21st of October. There is usually a small charge to enter the mine, but he has agreed to waiver this cost for UCET.

Please post below your interest.

meet location and time

Meet time will be 10am at the carpark behind the Wizzard inn. The pub is here:Pub

The carpark is here: Carpark


What to expect

The mine is quite easy to navigate, with some ladders and some bits to crawl through. The mine is quite sandy and dry in nature, and as such a caving suit is not really needed. no cows-tails needed, just a lunch and some chocolate for me.

There are many photo opportunities and Ed usually gives quite an interesting and detailed explanation of the mine whilst wandering through the system, presuming that he isn't hungover. More information on the mine can be found here:clicky
