====Quarry====
A few hundred yards up the path from the hostel there are some square concrete quarry buildings.  Once walkers have left the area for the afternoon these could suitably be used as some form of WWI onwards base.

From what could be seen these appeared to be relatively safe and with little to damage or upset around them.

====Coppermines Valley====

Starting at the hostel itself is Coppermines Valley.  This is a fairly steep valley, but shouldn't be too arduous for relatively fit players and crew.  It has a number of crystal clear pools at the bottom of waterfalls of varying depths, in addition to the interesting mine entrances.  There is also a ruined building a few hundred yards up the valley from the hostel with a tall chimney.

====Mine Entrances====

There are a number of mine entrances in and around Coppermines Valley.  Provided it was ensured that no-one went too deep into these, they could be used fairly safely for an encounter or two.

====Levers Water====
About half a mile's walk up the valley towards the Old Man of Coniston is a reservoir.
