A beautiful morning with not a cloud in the sky! We began walking from the camp site towards Harwood Hole. Harwood Hole is a cave that is a vertical drop into another cave called Starlight. It is only for serious cavers with experience and all the correct safety equipment, but we thought we'd take a look at the entrance. Along the same track was a scenic lookout which offered amazing views of the valley, way, way, way below!
The track was very eerie, damp and many types of moss covered the trees. We even spotted a fungi / mushroom that was purple!
After a short break for lunch, we followed a second track from the campsite. It led us through fields of sheep to a beautiful creek. We considered making a stepping stone bridge to cross it, but it had just started raining so we took shelter under the trees. As the rain eased we headed back to base... by now the mist was drawing in and it was beginning to get cold!
In fact, it got so cold and damp by bed time ... we opted to sleep in the back of the station wagon (estate car), where it tends to be a little warmer than the tent.
