OK, I am getting used to this! The weather forecast said that Thursday was to be the only good day this week, so we took our second trip to a beautiful spot at Spelga Dam, which I identified from your excellent forums. Arriving mid afternoon we had glorious sunshine, which changed to mist coming down in early evening and to rain the following morning. What a pleasure to stay at this location. As a photographer I do like watching the changing light, as the photos below illustrate.

If your superstitious dont do it as local folklore has it that it is the fairies that push you up the hill and it annoys them and it is unlucky.I have done it myself once,and i told my son about it and he went and done it and ended up putting his car on its roof only one hundred yards away.
