Our dog was snoring heavily after breakfast and showing absolutely no signs of eagerness to head out again today. We have to avoid tiring her out too much, so we selected a few close-by locations. The first was ‘Fairy Glen’ which was a 6 minute drive and a 10 minute walk away. But the terrain was by no means flat, so I saddled up the dog into the harness and headed off from the car.
The first 8 minutes were Ok, but the last 2 minutes were challenging for 2 old fogeys carrying a dog. This was the 2nd set of steps. Note: On the return trip, I had to leave my bag at the bottom of the steps whilst I carried Holly up to Vanessa as the steps were steep.
However the trip was worthy of the effort.
Back to the motorhome for lunch and to allow Holly to have another few hours kip. The forecast for the afternoon was for it to cloud over, so we headed off to a slate quarry. Unfortunately the sunshine and clouds weren’t following the forecast, so we had to make the best of it.
I carried Holly up into the slate quarry to a conveniently shaded spot to let her rest whilst Vanessa and I took turns to stroll around the quarry.
The Cwm quarry was at one time, 1 of 5 in the area, but all are now abandoned.
Lastly while I was waiting for Vanessa I took a few close-up shots of the exposed slat. Here’s one example…
Could be worth a fortune in some galleries perhaps?
