Beck Head Stream Cave

Beck Head Stream Cave

After climbing down about 3m in a tight rift and wriggling another 5m through a low passage, Beck Head Stream Cave opens out onto the sandy bank of an underground stream.

Not wanting to take my camera any further I took this one photo before braving the icy waters! After wading for ages upstream the passage reaches an underground waterfall and the end of my exploration, Broadbent Falls.

Putting the Decorations Away



The council were busy in the snow this morning taking down Christmas decorations. Well two were busy, the other two looked a little distracted!

Walking in the Snow

walking in the snow

After waking up to a fresh fall of snow I couldn't wait to go for a walk around town! I just hope I have chance to visit somewhere in the hills before it all thaws.

Icy River Witham, Boston

the River Witham frozen over in Boston, Lincs

The River Witham froze over a couple of nights ago when the temperature dropped to -4°C. This is the first time I've seen the tidal section of the river freeze, so I couldn't resist taking a few snaps with my phone.

The picture is from the foot bridge looking south towards Town Bridge. Here's the view in the opposite direction towards Sluice Bridge.

Falling Snow

snow falling on the riverside walk, Boston

It's always feels quite magical to walk in the snow. This picture on the riverside walk at about 7am just as it was beginning to get light. I love the way snowflakes reflect the camera flash! :-)
