Diary #11

Today we went to Matlock and went on a cable car to get to the special caves that you can go into and it was really fun. In the caves there is a thing called calcite it changes colour depending on what minerals that are in the earth like copper (green), iron (orange), or fluorspar (blue). We also learned about Led mining and children started mining at the age of 7 in the 1700 and even the women did mining and heaved and hoed the winches and pulled them up in whatever weather with NO shelter WHATSOEVER !

Still having fun.
