	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.		Starting at the hostel itself is Coppermines Valley.
