What do to? The forecast for Saturday February 8th is not good! I have already abandoned the original route to the waterfalls. The valley is waterlogged and the Forest trail is muddy up to your knees, with many fallen trees following the New Year storm. An alternative route has been recce'd to take you via our family named 'The valley of the shadow of death'. Otherwise known as the Alexandria Quarry! It is very exposed at along the 1000ft contour, a great walk on a little known route, but in wind and rain? Rachel has done the baking for the apres walk BUT
I suggest that watching the Rugby in front of the fire might be a better option.
