Monday: A Walk in the Woods

The weather today promised to be good. The forecast for tomorrow was wet, so we took the opportunity to explore the mountain top campground we were on. It had a number of trails along the top and sides, so we set out from a car park to find ‘The Three Caves’, only for Sally and I to have to turn back because the trails was not wheelchair friendly, even though it started that way. So we went to the caves by car, while they walked. The caves were actually an old limestone quarry but they had continued to mine the limestone right under the mountain. There were three huge entrances and you could see back for about 100 yards that they had used ‘room and pillar’ mining to extract the limestone. The quarry was overgrown and very pretty.
