Happy New Year!!
I hope 2020 is a great year for you.
Today I had a walk in the woods to visit the Cathedral Quarry in Little Langdale.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather wasn’t very kind to me today as it was dull, damp and foggy, as can be seen from the photos below. However, I didn’t let it put me off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My route was, mostly, on well made paths which seemed to have a gate every two hundred yards.<\/p>\n\n\n

I was hoping to visit the quarry and the caves but I couldn’t find the caves!!
I was hoping to use a navigation app I have on my phone but when I got to the walk there was no phone signal nor Internet so the app was useless. Message to self, download the map beforehand.
I did mange to find the quarry using map I had downloaded earlier but although it showed the quarry it didn’t show the caves.<\/p>\n\n\n

Although it is difficult to gage from the above photo the quarry walls were vertical and the drop must have been around 100 feet. Just looking down made me giddy. <\/p>\n\n\n

As I continued my walk I was aware that the weather was beginning to look very threatening, so I decided to make my way back to where my car was parked. On the way I had to pass through a field of sheep. These little guys had their fleece dyed black, why?
I don’t know. I’ve never seen this before but it certainly had the two women coming in the opposite direction to me in fits of laughter. I heard one woman say to the other ‘that one is smiling at us.’
The sheep might or might not have been smiling but I was!!
<\/p>\n\n\n

On the way back to the cottage I am staying in I stopped at the harbour for a little look and it was impressive but it wasn’t the boats that impressed me it was the two guys below.<\/p>\n\n\n

I have never seen wild geese in a town or at a harbour before but these guys seemed right at home here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
