点评:This was the second visit in my lifetime the first being way back in 1984! I came as a child and I have no idea how our parents managed to carry my little sister who would’ve been under the age of one over the rocks. Finding the cave is quite tough walk. I’m not super fit though and I managed it but thought about turning back a few times. I work as a doctor locally and I didn’t fancy ending up in A&E with a sprained ankle and probably would’ve been laughed out of the place. The causeway is fairly straightforward. It’s shingle and it’s easier if you walk in the jeep tracks. Once you get onto the island, the fun begins and you turn right to get to the painting. There are a couple of videos on YouTube but they don’t really show you how far along it is. They’re also two or three caves before you get to the cave painting, so be mindful of this. The underfoot is very rocky and it’s worse if it’s raining or wet personally I found it easier to walk right against the side of the island, the cliff and put my hand on that. Good walking shoes are essential ideally with ankle support.
I wore some grippy trainers but I would definitely wear walking boots next time. It’s also useful if you’ve got someone to hang onto, which I didn’t but managed. When I visited the sign pointing into the cave has fallen off but someone had very helpfully left a orange welly outside the cave, so look out for this. When we visited in 1984, you needed a flash camera to be able to capture the painting but now the iPhone on night mode will do it without a problem.
I think the painting is beautiful and it’s incredible that somebody decided to paint it in such a location . The cave is pretty impressive as well- very Famous Five
One thing I didn’t do and I meant to do it so perhaps somebody else could do it and post is to get the location on what3words of the cave which I think would make life easier for a lot of people and I couldn’t find it on the internet anywhere.
Would thoroughly recommend this.
翻译:这是我一生中第二次来这里,第一次是在 1984 年!我来的时候还是个孩子,我不知道我们的父母是如何设法将我当时还不到一岁的妹妹抱过岩石的。找到洞穴的路途相当艰难。虽然我的身体不是特别好,但我还是设法走了过去,但几次想着要折返。我在当地当医生,我可不想因为脚踝扭伤而去急诊室,否则可能会被人嘲笑。堤道相当简单。它是鹅卵石路,如果你沿着吉普车的车辙走会更容易。一旦你上了岛,乐趣就开始了,你右转就能看到壁画。YouTube 上有几个视频,但它们并没有真正告诉你要走多远。在你到达洞穴壁画之前,你还需要经过两三个洞穴,所以要小心这一点。脚下岩石很多,如果下雨或潮湿,情况会更糟。我个人觉得紧贴岛边、悬崖边行走,把手放在上面更容易。好的步行鞋必不可少,最好有脚踝支撑。
我穿了一些防滑运动鞋,但下次我一定会穿步行靴。如果有人可以扶着你,那也很有用,我没有,但还是设法做到了。我参观时,指向洞穴的标志掉了,但有人非常热心地把一只橙色雨靴留在了洞穴外面,所以要注意这一点。1984 年我们参观时,需要闪光灯才能拍下这幅画,但现在 iPhone 的夜间模式可以毫无问题地做到这一点。
我认为这幅画很美,令人难以置信的是,有人决定在这样的地方画它。这个洞穴也令人印象深刻——非常著名的五大洞穴
有一件事我没有做,我本想做,所以也许其他人可以做并发布,那就是在 what3words 上找到洞穴的位置,我认为这会让很多人的生活更轻松,但我在互联网上找不到它。
强烈推荐这个。
