What a fun day this was, getting lost, looking for the sacred ATM, eating lots of ice cream and nearly missing the last cable car back by 3 minutes.

I should explain, the heights of abraham is a tourist attraction in Matlock, consisting of cable cars to the top of a huuuge hill then guided tours of mines, but I remember as a child being taken there and then going for a walk with my parents, we got somewhat lost and eventually found a mine audit for a section of the mines that wasn't opened to the public, so our mission for the day had two objectives;

1 - Annoy tour guides with general faffing around with cameras etc

2 - Find mine

I can assure you we accomplished both.

On with the pics!

Firstly, from the guided tour

These people are too trusting sometimes, they think that a simple keep out sign will do when theres an open gate :lol:

Now here are the pics of the abandoned section of mine, that was sadly flooded.

I'll get my few pics that were any good up soon.

On the plus side, near to matlock is something substantially bigger, we think.
