\nOn 11th June Form Lower 11, under the good guidance of Mr. Foy and Mr. Cox, left school for a five day survey of the Peak District.<\/b> Amidst considerable excitement boys and equipment struggled into the two cars and on a sunny morning we set off.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe two cars stopped en route at Chatsworth House<\/b>.<\/a> We were shown round the house and gardens which impressed us favourably – and then onwards again, into Derbyshire, and at last we arrived at Castleton Youth hostel.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nOn Monday we were taken to Blue John Mines, the scene of Conan Doyle’s famous story The Terror of the Blue John Gap<\/b><\/a>. This is the only place in the country where Blue John Stone<\/b> is found; our guide suggested that the original monster of Conan Doyle’s story might be found too…..<\/span><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\nOn Tuesday we made a farm survey and in the afternoon we made drawings of churches which was all very easy for those who could draw.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nOn Wednesday we had to make our way to Edale<\/b> and then make a survey of the area and the next day we visited Ladybower Reservoir<\/b> – a visit to which we had all looked forward. we were shown round by a guide and informed of the remarkable efficiency of the pumping system.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe next day our trip was scheduled to end. We had one final visit to make as a detour on our return journey. When we reached Matlock bath, we were taken to the Heights of Abraham<\/b> and we went into Rutland Cavern <\/b>where lead was mined by the Romans. Then came the long journey back to school…and work.<\/span><\/div>\n
