| DAY 13 | Grandfather Rock | |
Ian completes his many course breakfast, at Meadow Brook Inn.
Our first stop The Swinging Bridge at Grandfathers Rock
Got to be honest, not as scarey as the hype.
The Bridge boasts being 1 mile high, This proved to be a little misleading.
The bridge spans an 80 foot chasm, 1 mile above sea level. Spectacular views none the less.
Some twitchers were photographing some local birdlife in the rocky outcrops, Sir Edmund Hillary here ventured out to inspect their work.
He managed a few dazzling pics of the vista.
Onwards and upwards to Linville falls.
From the parking lot we were directed up a rugged trail.
To signposts with directions to the falls, and various other vantage points.
After our hike was over we travelled back to base via the non existant visitors centre, and surprisingly clean toilets.
After our long day the pool at our hotel proved to be lovely, all be it a degree or 2 below perfect.
Finally a stroll out to The Sixpence pub and restaurant, we met Goldie ( The 3 legged sheltie ) and her family.
Goodnight super reader, we love reading your comments, sleep well xx
