The Mine Explorer Society Looking for adventure? Take a virtual tour of a lead mine with a group of enthusiasts who have logged over 20 years of abandoned mine exploration near the village of Nenthead in the U.K. The site features photo-rich trip reports and color plans. Don't know your stemmings from your kibble? A list of mining terms will come in handy when you're hanging out at the Miners Arms pub in Nenthead looking for conversation (and avoiding the alleged "giant vegetables"). And if you get snubbed by the blokes in the pub, you can always find new buddies in an abundant list of mine exploration clubs. Finally, don't forget your equipment, because mine exploration can be dangerous, Indiana Jones. (in Science)
