Day 15: Bonsall



Continue to be impressed by the prettiness of Bonsall and surrounds. Today, went to the Heights of Abraham, a local tourist attraction of cable car, two mines / caves, funky ropes course and the usual facilities. Adam and Sophie used to work here, so everything was free, leading to a daily budget total of one shiny pound. Competed in a rope course time trial, which Sophie won (save for a penalty for not being able to reach something). Went in both caves - got a private tour of the sceond one, including some sort of staff-only, off-the-beaten track bits of the cave, which was really neat. Took the cable car down and walked through Matlock Bath and Cromford. Bonsall feels like the middle of nowhere but there's an awful lot of stuff around it.
Met a bunch of Adam and Sophie's friends at a party at their friend Saran's place, starring her very fancy spa. Have learned that the best way to dry off after a spa bath is by trampoline.
