Yesterday evening Pate and Keith joined us in the Miners Standard in Winster for a meal and a drink and afterwards stayed at our place. So, after getting up in the morning and a coffee, we headed for Monyash cafe for breakfast. Pete and Keith planned to spend some time putting more scaffolding in the dig in Water Icicle Close Cavern, while Karen and I followed a short way down the main street pat the school and through the churchyard. this lead via a stile and some fields to a lane. On the way, we spotted a couple of figures in the distance about where we thought Water Icicle Close Cavern should be, and with Karen's binoculars we confirmed that it was indeed Pate and Keith.
We followed the lane and after passing through a farmyard, eventually dropped down Cales Dale to the footbridge in Lathkill Dale. We had a quick look at the resurgence of Cales Dale Cave, but it was completely dry. We then followed the path along Lathkill Dale past Lathkill Head Cave and below Ricklow Quarry and crossed the road leading from Monyash to Bakewell. We then followed a grassy path past another farmyard where Karen said "Hello" to a horse in the field with a "Do Not Feed The Horses" sign on the gate!
Soon after passing through some more fields, we were back in Chapel Lane near the cafe in Monyash. Of course, we had to have another visit in the cafe, which was quite busy, and then headed for home.
