Personal Experience
Arrival - We arrived by coach, and then there was about a 10 minute walk down to the site. It was a cold day anyway but as we arrived the start of the site it started raining.
Journey - The journey through Lumsdale started off at the Lower Pond. We then travelled down steps past the waterfall which flowed at a fast pace down for the whole journey. The walk though the site was all down hill and because it was raining the steps used to walk down were slippy. There are many ruins of old mills on the site; The Saw Mill, Paint Mill, and Grinding Mill. There was also a viewing point on the route down.
Paint Mill - Our group was allocated the Paint Mill to analyse. We took pictures of the site and measurements but as we were doing this it started to rain which increased the tasks difficulty.
Key elements - Pond, Waterfall, Stream, Ruins, Steps, Trees.
Leaving - It was freezing cold and raining so we left early.
Feelings - The site was cold, damp, dark, quiet, peaceful, isolated, lonely, muddy.
