United Kingdom Travel and Tourism: Day 8 in the United Kingdom

It's day 8, and the skies are cloudy. The weather channel said that there was a chance of rain today, so we decided on a plan to dodge it. Early in the morning, we would go to a park, then head over to a school to see a school hockey championship of 16-18 year olds. Everyone set out with fresh bacon in our stomachs and happy faces. We drove (well not us exactly, but yeah) to the Peak District National Park in England. Turns out along the way, Jed, the planner for the this day, didn't realize that the park was three hours away. Which meant that no hockey game for us. It was going to have to be postponed until a later date. However, regardless, when we all got there, everyone was pumped. We decided to bike, because walking trails required too much effort, so we went to rent some bikes. They cost 12.50 each in the British Pound, which is about 20 dollars in USD. Sahil spent so long trying to find a bike that the rest of us almost left without him! We finally set out on a trail called the Trans Pennine Trail, long enough for all of us to get some good exercise and enjoy Mother Nature. We saw so many things that it's hard to remember and write them all down. The entire trail was 215 miles, so we knew straight out that we weren't going to be able to see everything we wanted. There were all kinds of different trees and lots of grass. Even though it was off-road we even saw people riding on horses! Unfortunately there weren't any tours that were going on, so we weren't able to learn about anything, only watch. The trail goes through many different towns, so we stopped and rested at some of them, even pausing to browse some of the shops there. We had delicious peanut and butter sandwiches that we made ourselves, so it was pretty awesome. There were also lots of canals, and riversides, where we stopped and took many group photos. The trail went through lots of disused railway lines; at least we didn't try to ride on the tracks :D. Everyone was exhausted by the time we turned back and biked towards the exit. Everyone was sweating (even though it was 50 degrees) and eager to go back to the hotel and take a nice hot shower. We went to eat at a next door restaurant called Bryon. It was famed for its burgers, making us all convinced that we should go there, after all, who doesn't like a nice juicy burger? We also had hot, crunchy, fires and a brownie sundae for dessert. Most of us were surprised by the brownie sundae, we thought that that was pretty cool. Our day was finally done, and everyone felt somewhat revived by our exercise and relaxation at the park, it was pretty fun.
