Yes, it's one of those sad but true facts, that it isn't too often that you see bears out enjoying a picnic in the fresh air and with a great view all around. It should be an everyday sight, but sadly all too many bears seem to suffer from agoraphobia and rarely venture outside the house. The Bears Unlimited helpline for distressed bears, is always available to offer help and advice to any bear needing help to make a bid for freedom.
Anyway, back to the Causeway, we needed that lunch to give us the energy needed to walk back up to the cliff top from the Causeway. We certainly weren't going to cheat and take the easy road which you can even travel by bus. Our route back to the top was via the Shepherd's steps, a climb which is not for the faint-hearted or a bear with an empty stomach.
The steps seemed to go on forever, and while they might be the perfect size for humans, the rise of each step was a mountain to small bears like us. At the time we could have told you how many steps there were, but now we've been back for a few weeks we've forgotten. It's a good job that we spend so much time at the gym that we are very fit bears.
Once back at the top, it was a wonderful 5 mile coast path walk back to the car. We saw lots more rock formations of the same geology as the Causeway that were well worth seeing. We were very glad that we'd decided to incoporate some more coast path walking into our day out.
Lots of love, George, Yorkie, Patrick & Eddie xxx
