There is a route of sorts here. It is more fun that the lower path you can see below. I know who set up this carn. I was walking in another part of the Sierra a few months after this shot and saw a young (to me ) chap making a similar carn. He saw me and we exchanged Spanglish pleasantries and walked together for a few hours and chatted away. I met him a couple of times later in the Sierra as well, once with his wife and once when I was with my girlfriend (one of only two visits to these mountains with me!). Turns out he was (maybe still is - I've lost touch recently) the mayor of Valdemanco. Although young (maybe 28-30?), he was a bright spark if ever there was one! And I wasn't surprised that the village elders trusted him!

I have posted a few shots of Ralph's Cupboard before now but not one with heather as well.

Very recent rock fall here. I used to stroll over what is now sweet fanny adams! For Pam!

Salamanca from our hotel rooftop terrace. 3 important churches (or cathedrals or monasteries or convents and probably they all were or still are all of these at one time or another!) and the old university, Spain's oldest.

From near the town of La Cabrera itself. The start of a steep and interestingly challenging ascent. The paths at the other end of the ridge are longer, steeper in parts but not so eroded and risky.

I took a few shots on this walk and coast path as the sky was splendid and changing just enough to make each shot ever so slightly different.

Cornwall. Calm ocean waters. All this is at low tide and completely covered at high tide. The rocks are covered in mussels. Sight and sound. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOlc2PAiWUU
