I'm ex Cave and Mine Leader (Derbyshire), so caves are fair game...

@fasgadh - Oi! Don't encourage anyone else to go after them, I've still got designs on a few of those Firsts 😀 !

Aha, caving is in. So then, if you haven't already, a trip to Priddy in the Mendips for Swildon's Hole, longest cave in the Mendips, although some of the length is via sumps. I have only done trips through sump1 and thats fine and gives a decent length outing. Some of the others are much longer though.

Shortest scheduled ferry service from the mainland, Colintraive to Bute, advertised as 5mins but in reality it's 90secs, also most expensive journey for distance travelled, £3 for 300m.

It has to be cooperative now - far too many stubbornly hanging on after 20 years.   Mind I do get a bit cheesed off when a bike friendly one falls.

Well if you’re off to Harris, you might as well go to the oldest rocks in Britain, in Barra apparently. Archaean jobbies apparently.

Oldest tree: Fortingall, Perthshire.

Failing that have you done all the sweary place names? Greater Muff, Llanflange, Cockandballsby, Nobford-on-Minge etc.. Some may only exist in my mind of course.

Soz mods.

 

Ooh, rude names I could get on board with. 

Oldest tree, yep been there, done that. 

Didn't know about Barra rocks, they're on the list. 

Keep em coming folks, I plan on creating a Google map of places to go that we can just work out what's nearest on our travels. Like a geographic version of Pokémon go....

 

 

Bellenden Gardens is worth a visit. Its so much more than just a funny name. I reckon the planners were on a dare.
