The other picture was taken from the left corner by the black cow. The cairn is between here and there.

The other picture was taken from by the gate and vague blue car. The cairn is between here and there.

My car is far left behind short black line.

Garn Prys (533m) and the little cairn circle that’s named after it.

Tryfan just gets into the picture just left of where the near and far horizons meet.

Moel Siabod with Tryfan over it’s right shoulder, seen from Iwerddon to the south east, near Penmachno.

Looking north west towards Moel Siabod.

I’m really rather surprised to find such a good cist in such an easily overlooked cairn.

The cist within it’s grassed over cairn.

The cist within it’s cairn.

The cairn and it’s cist is dead center on the other side of the wall.

The part at the back of the cave is a short dead end as is the part to the right, but on the left is a tiny passage that goes on and down round corners and further than I dared go, on my own, with nothing more than the flash on my camera, which then died whilst I was in there.

The bleeding heart of Elderbush cave.

Seven ways cave upper right, on the other side of the massive rock tower is Thor’s cave, all overlooking the wondrous Manifold valley.

The open air nature of half of Seven ways cave, the arches go left and the cave goes right.

The three arches of Seven Ways cave.

The back of the cave, it’s not a big one.

I love caves.
The suicide exit is out through the right wall, the nostrils are round the corner left.
It is very slippy, and much dirt inducement.

Stubob called ‘em Thors nostrils, I’m going with that.

From near the back of the left nostril.

The slip of a crack in the cave wall, I call it the suicide exit, as it’s straight down on the outside.

The main entrance and the suicide exit left.

Drip gully from cave entrance overhang, or perimeter of sacred precinct? or both?

Looking along the rocks to Minninglow

Gnarled little natural menhir and the throne beyond.

Really quite a comfy seat

The throne/chair, still looking good

Natural menhir points the way to Minninglow.

Looking across the top of the rocks from the trig point, smooth natural menhir with a basin in it’s top on the left.

The natural menhir with a basin in it’s top and a plug hole?

The cave entrance is down there, unfortunately it’s a favourite place for climbers too.

Cave entrance, burials were found within.

Backed into a corner

The way down into the cramped darkness.

Looking over the scooped out interior to Lean Low, where farmers solidify our preconceptions.
