Leven Canyon, pretty cool looking place so we headed there before doing the Sheffield Steamfest.
Trying to outsmart the GPS we took a road which involved a wee back track, turns out the GPS knew better in this case.
Our new track led us through forestry roads etc and we came upon a massive yellow gate that was locked, the main road was literally on the other side, I checked out an ATV track which looked doable ….I then went to the gate and pushed it to find there was no lock and it swung open…woohoo.
Arriving at camp it was a very nice place, again we got a perfect spot secluded and quiet, something we have come to treasure.
The short walk to the lookout provided the aftys entertainment, we had planned to do the second Canyon floor walk the next day.
Canyon floor walk to Devils Elbow, 1.5 hours return, we weren’t really paying attention and kinda walked past the Elbow and started climbing…literally with 3 sets of ladders to start with.
After a considerable while we checked the map to find we had blazed past the Devils Elbow and were well on our way to Dukes Lookout.
We decided to carry on up, it was a very grunty climb with all fours being common theme.
Both Ellen and I got soaked from sweat as it was quite humid but it was really cool at the lookout.
