Whitehaven

Part of Nantmawr Quarry You cannot get a full view into the quarry from here for obvious reasons but the site looks safe and well maintained. The map marks it as Nantmawr Quarry Mountain Bike Centre and I can only see one piece of evidence for mountain bike use. I hope it is well used. What can you operate within a huge disused quarry? Climbing walls? Rifle range? Clay pigeon shooting? Quad-biking? Paintball combat? Go-karting? Many might work but may well be opposed on noise pollution grounds. Paintball would be a winner I would think...

Old Massey Ferguson near Treflach Hall At first I thought this old tractor had been left in this field edge, but noticed its tracks. Good to see it still in use. It must be as old as me. A chap was mending a fence nearby and it was obviously his pride and joy.
