Cheddar Gorge

Popped up the Gorge this afternoon.









And then under it.















Then back out again.







And just for Jenny, some moving pictures.

 

Great pics ZiggyI have driven through the gorge a few times it is an incredible feature.

 

Aye, it never changes. Nice to see again though!

 

Cheers Harry & Moyra

Bit of a shock coming straight off the levels into what looks like a mountain.

 

Wow you lucky devil....looks great

 

I love the cave piccies. Delicous colours, especially the rose colour - looks like marble.
And thank you for the movies too Ziggy. Are you selling ice creams during the interval?

Didn't think of that, how about a hot dog, or maybe some popcorn

The marble looking rock is Travertine, formed by Calcium rich water depositing crystals as it drips, the rose colouring would be iron minerals such as Haematite also carried in the water.

 

Great pictures Ziggy. You're getting about a bit at the moment and don't know where you're going to pop up next.......or down for that matter.

 

Looks great Ziggy

Do you get Wafers with it?

 

Of course you don't get 'treetree' wafers with it!
