Andy had to postpone his mountain bike ride in the morning because of rain, so after breakfast and a shower for me, we headed out with Carole for Castleton and the
Speedwell Cave - a perfect rainy day activity! We all walked down 106 steps of a narrow tunnel carved into rock, glad for our hard hats, down to a tunnel channel. We climbed into a heavy boat that traveled about 1/2 mile in a tunnel
just bigger than the boat, which opened at the end to a small cave that you could walk around in. The kids liked it, despite daddy's talk of hungry trolls. Then on to Castleton, a nice stroll around town and a stop at a pub for lunch. After that we drove to New Mills and walked along the Torrs and over the
Millienium Bridge, so nice. Back home for a cup of hot tea, ahhhhh... Andy set out on his bike, then Ian and Anne came by around 7 to say hello to the kids then whisk us off for a lovely curry, one of the yummiest dinners of our whole trip. Thanks to Grandma and Granddad for babysitting!!!
