What the Trip Is Like
Wowfactor
Estimated Duration: 3.75 hours
Note: This is a vague estimate and probably isn't a good reflection of how long the team were actually underground on this occasion.
A sporting lead mine exploration in the Via Gellia valley, close to the well-known Good Luck Mine. The mine is on two main levels with interesting tramming passages leading to various stopes. A rope is essential for the internal pitch, and the slippery mud climb provides a worthwhile challenge. A good choice for those wanting something more adventurous than the simpler adit mines in the area.
