Rock Climbing at 
Watford Gap Service Station!

Despite the rain, we seem to be 
enjoying the stiff walk 
up to the Heights of Abraham!

Exploring Nestus Mine

Lunch at last

Oh no, yet more uphill walking!

Down in the Great Masson Cavern.

A few minutes 'relaxation' 
- this looks exciting!

Exploring what it was like 
to move through a miner's tunnel 
in the Mining Museum.

Panning for gold at the Temple Mine

 At the Youth Hostel, rapt attention listening to Miss Rayner...

before enjoying breakfast 
at the start of the second day. 

Then off to Castleton to see 
the Blue John in Treak Cliff Cavern.

After the Blue John, 
came the stalagmites.

With the special lighting 
they looked magical.

Just 1,000 years to wait 
before they join!

 After Treak Cliff, out in the open to look at Mam Tor, the shivering mountain.

Heading off across country we took care on the limestone....

...on our way to Castleton 
to rejoin the coach for Ickenham.
