Exploring the cave of the Lion: Part II

Transcription of my diaries from the exploration of the Cave of the Lion 2008 - Part II

20 July 2008 at 2300 hrs

So, well, yes: to say that I went up with a rucksack and came back again would describe the day - it would not describe, however, the rather easy ascent nor the terribly difficult return which sapped me of strength.

Nor would it describe the beauty of the place.

I am actually quite knackered, so this is a very brief message.

Some photos from the route up:


Second break on the way up - about 3/4 of the way there
