Each Saturday I go out walking around the Isle of Man with my friend Dave. We take pictures as we walk - sometimes more pictures than walking! Though Dave is older than me, he is usually in front, especially when climbing hills, something he enjoys a lot more than me. I also go out with the camera on Sunday's (with my husband, Chris) or any other time I'm not working, trying to capture different views of the island

Saturday 22nd June 2013
This morning we first went to Close Sartfield to look at the orchids
We then went up Sulby Glen with the intention of walking through Tholt-y -Whil but, due to the storms earlier this year, it remains closed. Instead we walked into the plantation on the other side of the road to see if we could locate a tholtan.
Some time ago, I had been given a book on Manx Tholtan's which Dave has recently been looking at. Unfortunately, neither of us had studied it recently and weren't sure exactly where it was. We headed off along a path that became narrower, steeper and less defined before disappearing altogether. We did see a small waterfall (Shellagh Vane) but, this was less than impressive with very little water coming over it.
Eventually we found a wider path that we followed, that led us to a tholtan - right beside a main forest track
