Hike to the Andesite columns






The weather being really nice again Pete and I took a trip up the Andesite columns today. It was really high humidity due to the heavy rain earlier in the week. After some trudging on a very slippery path we emerged by the side of the famous Ber Andesite columns, which look like a big wave. After climbing to the top of them we had the 200 degree panoramic views, which were very impressive. This time, the novelty for me was that the vicinity of the rocks included a carpet of wild flowers, including iris, pansy and bluebells. In the final picture Pete is seen pointing at the twin peaks of the hill of Szanda on the right and the disused quarry on the left. These lovely mountains are affectionately called The tits in our family.
