West Wycombe Mausoleum 27.11.12

Today Jamie and I decided to have an adventure! We were going to discover The Hell Fire Caves of West Wycombe and climb to the Mausoleum atop the hill. From some previous research we found that we would not in fact be going into the caves, as in the winter they are only open at weekends. No matter, we thought, the Mausoleum it is! Sitting on the A127 not 10 minutes from my house, flooding!!! Oh how fantastic, however once passed we again allowed ourselves to be optimistic…. 1.5hrs later… it is still raining! We have a coffee/tea and decide that the drizzle outside would have to be braved to say that it wasn’t a completely wasted trip. Wellies were certainly needed, however I had cleverly left mine in the back of Reiss’ car. This was doomed from the onset! I climbed the hill, (with now muddy converse) to find it…..LOCKED! we did an hour or so of wandering around the area and I have a few photos but then the rain got too heavy and we had to retreat. Our adventure had been scuppered at every turn. Despite this, I had a really fun day and can’t wait for the next!

What collection would be complete without more fungi?
