It Rained Again

Looking at the forecast it looks as though we are going to see rain for the rest of our stay. This is a bit of a pain as we could do with a dry day on Tuesday so that we can dry things out before we leave. With the cooler temperatures at night there is condensation on the windows that doesn’t completely dry out the next day. As the trailer is going into storage for 3 months there is always the worry of mold.

After lunch the rain letup and the sun tried desperately to make an appearance. Lyn had a couple of short trips lined up so off we went. The first was to the site of some “massive cave like rock shelters” formed after the last ice age. Off we went, round the country lanes only to finish up 20 miles later at the exact point we started from. Never did see the shelters and never did work out where we went wrong!!

Next stop was for a nature walk around the site of an old lead mine. Everything went well, roads were followed and towns were passed we even finished up on Lead Mine Road but all we got to see was a plaque at the side of the road commemorating the area that was part of the old lead mine. Not doing too well here.

Gave up on the organised tours and headed for the local town for a bit of grocery shopping. On the way round the back lanes were chanced upon a sign for a dam, decided we’d try our luck one last time. Success! there really was a dam, so at least we managed to get some exercise in walking along it.
