Some folk may remember we are researching the Auden/Pennines/Mining
link.
As a result of a request, I am investigating the chance of running a
tour to explore this.
In mining terms, the interests would probably be Castleton caverns, the
trip up Wharfedale, the Buttertubs to Keld and Tan Hill, thence Dufton,
Alston Moor, Nenthead, Rookhope/Blanchland with a focus on the Sikehead
Shafts.
An extra leg of the tour would probably bring in Threlkeld Quarry. All
these names are directly related to Auden and all bar Threlkeld feature
in an itinerary he wrote in 1954.
