Walking "The Bowl" at Silvermine with Jo and the girls

Silvermine doesn't get better than this. A beautiful walk with stunning views of the dam and ocean, followed by a  heavenly swim in the dam.

Swim in the dam

New Year's day swim at Silvermine with the Hurds and Russell

A very hot day, perfect for a refreshing swim at Silvermine.  A great way to start the year.

Walk with Ivor at Silvermine

It was so lovely to see Ivor after so long.

 

Exploring Ystervark Grot at Silvermine

A wonderful day with two fellow intrepid explorers.  

Highlights included:

• Some deep philosophical discussions about extraterrestrial life and the nature of reality.
• Brandon's amazing smorgasbord of delicious snacks.
• Two beautiful buzzards flying close to us in the mist.
• Crawling deep into the Ystervark Cave. At times, we had to crawl on our bellies through tiny narrow cracks and at other times, the cave opened up into chambers we could stand in. My first true experience of caving. I loved it, although it undid some of the good of my recent physio session!
• Climbing up onto the plateau and exploring a beautiful botanical labyrinth.
