Keswick Mining Museum Walks 2012
All walks
are guided by Ian Tyler, mine historian, author of 11.5
books on Cumbrian Mining and the curator of the Keswick
Mining Museum, that's me on the right. Come and have a great day out in the fells
off the beaten track whilst learning something about the industrial past of
Cumbria, its not always been fluffy bunnies, Wainwright & pencils.
