I wouldn't do that for £1,000,000!
What's the story with that place? Is it meant to be open to the public?

It's certainly got H&S conscious, never used to have to tied on

Nice Sunday afternoon stroll

I'm planning to do this in the early Autumn (and the zip wire)....
http://www.honister-slate-mine.co.uk/via_ferrata.asp

Was there in June to go down the mine with the kids, speaking to the owner, he's just applied for planning to put in the longest zip wire in the Northern Hemisphere.
Should be fun!

Not any more. It was closed to the public some years ago after a number of fatalities.
