Good luck with the next chapter in your lives

I call in to see my friends Angelina and Robinson and their daughter Sara to say our goodbyes as its very unlikely they will be here next trip, its time for them to move on.
Good memories of fantastic food at their restaurant, takeaway and at their home will live with me forever, as will their friendship

There is another chamber but getting to it was not possible today

The answer surprised me

I could see these from a distance and wondered what they were

That looks interesting, the only access is down that track which was ploughed halfway along but the KLX gets me there

I never got time to explore that way, I kept on coming to junctions that didn't show

No secret track but a smiling face peering out

I now have spare time to explore a bit more, perhaps there is a secret track behind that house

This very helpful couple turn up, the guy works here and the girl spoke English, they tell me this is indeed a spring that is the origin of the Tara Rak waterfall.
Job completed and I didn't even have to go walking to find the answer

Walking around the back and someone has had a party here

In the middle of the above photo is where the water is the most agitated

It doesnt show in the photo but small bubbles are coming up suggesting a spring

Its a lot drier today and easier to walk along the wall, what I thought back then was water entering is in fact water going out to form the stream that is the waterfall
IMG_3821.jpg

Unbeknown to me I was standing at the spot when I visited here ten days ago
IMG_3819.jpg
Todays main job is to try to locate its source, I have come prepared to go trudging through the woods to locate it

The Tara Rak waterfall from the 1090
 
Just spotted a load of bollocks on another has beens forum about how the water flows out from the rock as theres no stream above, obviously he didn't explore it properly like I did
