Second Day - Visiting 2 Caverns
Towards Treak Cliff Cavern
This little path crossing through the side of the hill between the Blue #John Cavern and Treak Cliff Cavern supposed to be a public footpath. We arrived to Blue John Cavern last night at dusk, as snowy land we could still see and wanted to have a shorter cut on green line than to walk on the car roads. We didn't know at that time what we get into it.The path is around the same wide or a tiny bit wider than an adult hip. I chose to climbed, slide on my bottom just like I did when I used to go hike in caves. I think that was a safer option than my husband's who crippled along with one hiking stick. The path was absolutely frozen, extremely slippery. It was only 250-300 meters struggle....
This is one of the two cave where found this special "blue john" fluorite. Both cave at Castleton.
Treak Cliff Cavern & Blue John Cavern.
There are waves in the structure of the fluorite with mixed colours
