How fantastic, always wanted to see that site from the inside. How did you get in Gladman? Is it easy?
This was my second time, better prepared after having to wade chest high in 2014 misjudging the tide! My advice is to get the local tide charts online - TSC has posted a link - get there an hour before published low tide to ascend as soon as possible, then ensure you leave the cave 30-40 mins MAX after published low tide. I did this and just made it back with dry feet.
Brilliant thanks. This goes to top of our 'must do' list once we have recovered from last year's cluster of mobility buggering injuries...
Yeah if you're able, it's highly recommended. Just ensure you treat that tide with the utmost respect!
It was an absolute mind blower for me, possibly still the most inspiring site I've been to, just because of the timespan involved and the feeling of having overcome a bit of a challenge in getting there. As well as watching the tides, wear proper footwear as the foreshore below the cave is a mass of sharp rocks.
