Lunch in the Dining Car

We got to the bottom of the railway incline a lot faster than our minders who were coming down at walking pace. It was an interesting place to wait for a bit as we were able to explore both the Cromford canal which runs at the bottom of the incline and a lot of old railway wagons that had been left behind. Our bikes had got a bit muddy so we gave them a wash in the canal taking care not to fall in. Sadly we didn't see the water voles that we'd met on our previous visit.

In our first picture if you look closely (you'll probably need to click on the picture to enlarge it) you will see us perched aboard one of the old carriages which we thought would make a good lunch stop.

Fully refreshed we then educated ourselves about the history of the High Peak Junction. As we were too short to read the information boards if we stood on the ground we had to perch on the top and read them upside down. This happens to us quite often so we're well practised at upside down reading.


Love from us all xxx
