Finally the boys have picked me up heading to Alston. 

They mined lead on Alston Moor. Go to The Nenthead Mines Heritage Centre for the full story of the birth of philanthropic industrial welfare, pioneered by the Quakers - pre-dates New Lanarkshire, Saltaire, Port Sunlight et al.

shame its going dark, you will love the scenery when you get up in the morning, ace place! have fun, make sure you visit the mines too. can't remember what they mine, its not jam butties but might be cider. Daniel will know.
