These formations are quite spectacular. I took a lot more pictures than these, but this isn't the focus of this blog.

One For The Road

That's enough gypsum for this blog. We carried on through the countryside, exploring farm lanes and forgotten tracks that led nowhere. We did find an old abandoned church, but some farmers were resting by it, so we left them in peace.

Possible Caves

We saw these in the distance, and thought they might be mines. However, we couldn't find any way of getting remotely close to them.

The Crystal Hills of Polemi

We were introduced to the Crystal Hills a few years back. It was the first time we visited Polemi and we were on the hunt for geocaches.

The only thing that let the cache down was it's size, but we won't go into that here. Instead we shall have a look at the terrain, and see why the cache was called "The Crystal Hill".
