A map with a great focus on mid. (btw nav_mesh is being weird atm so sorry if bots don't quite work)

Set in an abandoned mining facility in the Lake District, UK, the terrorists intend to blow up toxic material illegally stored in the facility, contaminating the water flooding the mines and pits and damaging the surrounding area.

A site has been designed to stretch somewhat onto mid, and for an effective hold, a CT should watch mid from toxic. The drop down connector, currently dubbed as 'hut', is a very powerful window position and looks onto A main. It would be overpowered, if not for its troublesome location: to get into hut as a CT, you would need to have complete control of mid or luckily flash yourself in, and as a T your only real method of accessing it is by getting control of mid. This makes hut only really see play on retakes and later in rounds after a fake, which makes it quite the interesting element of the site.

The site itself has a large wall down the middle, and you can plant for A main, Quad (the CT entrance to the site) or hut using this. It bears some similarities with old Train's A site, and in my opinion is a very fun site.

B site is quite different. It was wholly a rush site that you had to entirely commit to until I added the connector just before the T entrance. This makes the site have 2 connectors, one of them a dropdown, similar to mirage's short and underpass. Pit, the area around the side of B site, can be used to watch the bomb site and dropdown effectively, but to watch long B your best bet is to play around the cover on site or the CT entrance. By the CT entrance, is a small metal room with destructible windows, which can be used for eco rounds where you want to surprise the enemy at close range with a shotgun or smg.

I cannot thank ardeT enough for his contributions to the map, constantly being a play-testing buddy and helping me make the map fun to play.
Other guys I have to mention for just being great helpful people are:

As this is my first map, criticism of a constructive nature would be fantastic, and rating and favouriting the map would be invaluable!
