We hiked 15k in total today. Stunning scenery again, plus a lovely swim in Coniston waters (Lake District, UK). When we got to the hotel we realised there were some slate quarries nearby. So a quick coffee and off we went. When we got there, we found we could explore without a guide…. Yes, so totally up for that… we clambered in and around and through a “cathedral type” vault, up some steep rocks, through some pitch black tunnels to come out in a totally different place, which meant scrambling down a steep muddy slope. What a wonderful adventure!
Main photo: the sun playing on the water reflected on the quarry walls.
More beauty… what a day!
