That waterfall isn't looking too shabby any more, is it? Anyway, I originally thought that this was a Shrine to Saint George, but Alex pointed out that rather than the white cross of St George, this flag actually showed three crosses. I think they are covering the shrine either to protect the votive offerings and candles within, or because it is Lent.

I climbed up to the fieldl above the shrine. Often a shrine will be erected near the site of an old church. However, I couldn't see any remains up here.

While I was putting the finishing touches to this article, I noticed that the Sulphur Spring which is further downstream is actually called St Anastasia Sulphur Spring. I know that there is no church between here and there, so I am guessing that this must be St Anastasia Church. I have looked on an old map of the area, and there is no sign of an older structure around here. If anybody knows more about the significance of St Anastasia to the area, please enlighten me.

That is why this article is about a waterfall instead of a church. Now, you may well argue that it should be called something along the lines of "Theletra Countryside" instead. In truth, it should have been. And, spoiler alert, a "Part 1" would have been included as well, as in the next article we take the turning we ignored at the top of the track. That's an adventure in its own right, and one which I have yet to come up with a catchy title for.

So why isn't it called that?

Because you are a fickle bunch. If I call an article "Yada yada Countryside" not many people will look at it. Why? I have no idea. But "Countryside" is up there with "Green" and "Charity" as words which put off potential readers. I base this solely on website viewing statistics, which unfortunately do not lie. So I figure that more people will at least start reading the article if I pump up the waterfall a bit.

Now, I am not of course referring to you, you wonderful beast of a reader who has made it all the way to Page 7. You are part of the elite that have a genuine love of the countryside and want to read more about it. However, I did think I owed you an explanation.

I still have no idea what to call Part 2 though...

Anyway, back to the picture above. I am back on the track now, looking up towards the gorge. I am going to beat my way through this undergrowth to see if I can get to the stream that heads in that direction.

Now this was a surprise. I soon arrived at some overgrown buildings.

The buildings looked kind of weird. What on Earth was that? I am guessing the roof has collapsed, but there appears to be a water pipe or something similar running across the gorge to it. There is also a similar pipe giong downwards though, to the bed of the gorge. If I had to guess what this was, I would say it was an old pumping station.
