When kuang yaw come Sheffield, i plan to bring him to Castleton for the first day. Me, kuang yaw , Chien Hui and Jing ying depart from bus station around 11am and reach Castleton around 12pm. Castleton is located inside peak district( one of the national park in UK), no wonder on our journey to Castleton , i saw a lot of mountains. The scenery is astonishing and breathtaking. I also saw a lot of sheep and cows eating grass.
At last, i reach Castleton. First time i'm sitting on a double-decker bus. I can see a lot of wonderful scenary from the top but will get dizzy after a while.
Its lunch time ...I wake up early in the morning to fried rice. Not really tasty , but overall still can eat cox i'm super starving. We found a nice place near the foothill and settle down for lunch. Its so relax to have our lunch while appreciate the mother nature.
After lunch , i went for one of the attraction in Castleton , which is Treak Cliff Cavern. Inside the cave got a lot of blue john stone and stalagmite.It is very cold and wet inside the cave. When we reach the middle of the cave, all of the lights are switch off for us to experience the mining workers when they are digging the stone. It was totally dark and we can't even see anything.
After the cave tour, we headed to our next attraction which is man tor. Its is the highest mountain in Castleton and its takes us 1 hour to get to the top.
yeah..i reach the top . Its so scary to sit on top of the stone , especially the wind is so strong. Scared i will be blown away. When i reach the top , i feel so delight and satisfy.All the tired journey up to the top was worth it. From the top , i can see the whole Castleton city and also Kinder Scout.
Its time to head back to Sheffield...what a tired journey .....and tomorrow i'm til going to Kinder Scout.
