The whole team was taken by many members of the RC Hazel Grove to the Blue John cavern in Castleton. Did you know that no John was ever involved in the naming of the mines? It is a misinterpreted french "blue yellow" (bleu jaune) because those french miners discovered the blue-yellowish rock in that mines some hundreds years ago. Afterwards we went to the largest reservoir of the area, Derwent reservoir at the Peak District National Park in Derbyshire. Unfortunately the skies were pouring down and we could not enjoy a walk by the lake (yes, the lovely photo is "fake", I was not prepared to get my camera soaking wet!!!)
At night we had some delicious dinner in a Mediterranean restaurant with many members of the RC Hazel Grove. I think that Mediterranean cuisine tastes somewhat different up here!!!
