Saturday 27th August
Rained not long after we got up quite heavily - soon stopped and we walked along the Erewash canal towpath to Long Eaton station where we caught the train to Derby.

| Derby Cathedral |
Wandered to the Cathedral only to find that it was the bell ringers open day - for £4 each we could climb to the top of the tower, see the bells and carillon, have a talk about bellringing and have a ring!

| The cathedral |
The cathedral itself had a modern feel very light and housed the tomb of Bess of Hardwicke.
Did a bit of shopping in the intu Derby shopping centre. Rain started as we went into the shopping centre stopped while we walked to the station and poured when we got to Long Eaton so grabbed a taxi back to Trent Lock.
