Martiri Gorge
Down In The Valley
Let's have a closer look at the glade before we hit the gorge. Isn't that lovely?
Take The Plunge
Ok, let's head towards the bridge. That means going down there. In order to make this trip, I was wearing old trekking boots, so if they got completely drenched it wouldn't matter. I wouldn't attempt it in a nice new pair of trainers. You want something with plenty of grip that you don't mind getting wet. Also, you will want a change of clothes, and a towel. Leave them here, and you will be thankful when you come out again.
Film Footage
The next images are stills taken from the film I recorded which you can see at the end of the blog.
Rocky Route
At the start the situation isn't too bad. You can avoid most of the water, and the gorge walls weren't that slippery.
Old Boulder
Once you get past this boulder though, conditions deteriorate. I couldn't help but notice the odd wooden object next to the rock. At the time I assumed it was a piece of drift wood that had got wedged stuck. Next time I am here I will give it a closer look though.
